BEFORE I BECAME
A COACH, I WAS
AN ATHLETE.
I grew up in sport. From an early age, training wasn't something I did — it was part of who I was. I spent my formative years competing, learning what it meant to show up consistently, to push through plateaus, and to respect the process.
I competed for over a decade, and that experience taught me discipline in a way nothing else could. You learn quickly that talent only takes you so far. The rest is structure, patience, and the willingness to do the unglamorous work.
When my competitive years ended, strength training became my anchor. I fell in love with the barbell — not for aesthetics, but for what it represented: measurable progress, resilience, and a quiet confidence that carries into every area of life.
Transitioning from athlete to coach wasn't a straight line. It started with friends asking for help, then their friends, and eventually women across the country who wanted the same thing: a plan that respected their life while still pushing them forward.
I coach women because I've seen what happens when training stops being punishment and starts being empowerment. Strength changes more than your body — it changes how you move through the world.
