I’m a Wake Forest-based fitness coach, originally from Hope Mills, NC. After my son started college, I turned my passion into a purpose: empowering others through health and wellness. My coaching is informed by a Master of Science in Sport and Project Management (WCU) and certifications from ACSM, ACE, and Duke Integrative Medicine. I specialize in trauma-informed, inclusive coaching designed to build your confidence, resilience, and strength for life inside and outside the gym.
