My passion comes from firsthand experience with perseverance. At 33, I was an IFBB fitness competitor when a bathroom fall tore my quadriceps tendon. A botched surgery led to two more operations on that tendon, plus six additional surgeries including two hip replacements to address the imbalance it created in my body. At 56 I've had to completely rebuild myself. That journey taught me what's truly possible when you refuse to give up— now I channel that knowledge into helping others push through.

I love combining weight training with dancing and flexibility work—it keeps training dynamic and addresses strength, cardio, and mobility all at once. As a personal trainer, I also prioritize what I recommend to clients: nutritious eating, quality sleep, and stress management. I believe in practicing what I preach.

I'd reinvest it directly into my training business. Those nine surgeries gave me hard-won expertise in rehabilitation, body mechanics, and mental resilience that I now use to help clients overcome their own obstacles. The investment would allow me to reach more people, upgrade equipment or certifications, and expand my capacity to help others become their best selves—because I know exactly how hard that journey can be.
