From a young age, I discovered the power of exercise and the impact of intentional eating to fuel the body. This realization led me down the path of studying exercise science through magazines and news articles as a teenager. I soon understood that to gain a deeper understanding, I would need to pursue higher education. This desire to learn led me to earn my Bachelor’s in Kinesiology from California State University, Monterey Bay, where I realized fitness is more than exercise alone—it’s about the connection between exercise, nutrition, lifestyle, and behavioral change.

To better understand this connection as it relates to nutrition, I decided to further my studies and earn my Master’s in Exercise & Nutrition Science from the University of Tampa. There, I realized that knowing the science of exercise and nutrition was only one part of the equation. The next step was developing a stronger understanding of behavioral change and lifestyle management. Over the course of the next two and a half years, I became a Level 1 Certified Nutrition Coach and a Level 2 Certified Master Health Coach through Precision Nutrition. These programs were exactly what I needed to deepen my knowledge and practical skills in behavior change and lifestyle coaching.

During my independent studies with Precision Nutrition, I came across the National Board-Certified Health & Wellness Coach certification, offered in partnership with the National Board of Medical Examiners. This certification encompassed everything I had been working toward—exercise, nutrition, behavioral change, and lifestyle management. After another year of studying, I passed the board exam and became a National Board-Certified Health & Wellness Coach.

Over the past decade of pursuing knowledge and experience, I have helped hundreds of people break down their goals and create manageable action steps to achieve them. By combining my four core realizations—exercise, nutrition, lifestyle, and behavior change—I help clients develop programs that are both structured and adaptable. Exercise becomes a tool for building strength and energy, nutrition becomes a way to fuel progress, lifestyle choices create balance, and behavior change strategies ensure that the results last. Together, these pillars form the foundation of my coaching, allowing clients to create sustainable transformations that fit their lives long term.
