I was always active in sports doing activities such as yoga, but it wasn’t until college that I truly fell in love with training and the science behind it. What drives me is the transformative power of fitness – not just physically, but mentally and emotionally. Helping others achieve their goals and see their potential is incredibly rewarding.
