From the minute I found out I could study exercises in college I knew that’s what I wanted to do. After graduation with my degree in exercises science I became a personal trainer. During this time a worked with clients looking to workout for weight loss, sport specific goals and overall health. Nutrition coaching was a key component to my clients success, but as my training career progressed I took more of an interest in the orthopedic rehab and injury prevention side of exercises and perused my doctorate of physical therapy.

After PT school I worked 5 years in an orthopedic practice and became skilled at sports therapy and rehab. I kept my foot inside the training arena this whole time; personal training, coaching group classes and progressing my own training into CrossFit.

As CrossFit became a bigger part of my life so did nutrition again. As my passion to better my clients and myself grew, so did the time I spent learning about food and how it works. I found the Body Biz and fell in love with the system and the coaching style. Just like I coach, train and treat I believe education is the key to getting the results you want! Nutrition is the same, and I love teaching people how to use and enjoy food to get the most out of life!
