Years ago, I took a boxing class with a former professional boxer – and I hated it. But after some convincing from a friend, I gave it another shot… and I’m so glad I did. That second class sparked my love not just for boxing, but for fitness as a whole.
With over 25 years of experience in the boxing and fitness world, I’m a certified personal trainer and CPR certified. Coaching boxing is my passion, especially when someone walks into class unsure and leaves feeling empowered. It’s not only an incredible full-body workout, but also a powerful stress reliever – and I love watching people discover that for themselves.
What brings me the most joy is seeing people progress and succeed in their fitness journey.
Fun fact: I gave birth to a 12-pound baby – naturally!
My motto: If it doesn’t challenge you, it won’t change you!

I started my fitness coaching journey in 2018. Holding a BS, MS, NASM-CPT certification, and Safesport certification, I bring a strong foundation of knowledge and expertise to my coaching. I particularly love leading TRVx classes, due to their variety and the challenge they offer.
My coaching philosophy centers around generating tangible results and educating my clients, providing them with the tools they need for long-term success. I believe in a personalized approach, working closely with each member to understand their individual goals and provide tailored guidance. Seeing others achieve is the most rewarding aspect of being a coach.
Outside of the gym, I enjoy playing hockey and exploring the outdoors. A personal mantra I live by is, “As iron sharpens iron, so a friend sharpens a friend,” I feel it exemplifies the power of collaboration and mutual support.
The fitness industry has greatly impacted my life, allowing me to connect with a diverse population and providing me with unforgettable experiences.
