I started working in the industry in 2014 and joined Elite in 2026.

I love being able to help people move better and feel better. I also love that each day is never the same.

My biggest accomplishment has been losing 90 lbs since I started my journey.
- What advice do you give people who are coming to the club for the first time?
Make sure to ask questions and to track progress in non-scale ways. Celebrate better energy, improved mood, strength gains, better sleep, more confidence, and less stress. The scale doesn’t measure everything!
- What advice do you give people who are struggling to make health/fitness/tennis a priority or are getting bored/burned out?
Find something that brings you joy to get you started, whether that is a dance class, a fitness class, or yoga.
- What personal advice do you give someone who is looking to get to a healthier point in their life in general?
Make sure to make time for yourself and your mental health. Read that book you’ve had on your TBR list, get a massage, or take a rest day and enjoy the special people in your life.
