In 2007, at the age of 23, I was diagnosed with a genetic disorder that affects my joints. For the next 5 years I worked to stabilize. Now I want to help others regain strength, stability, and living well. I became a CPT and since then I've taken every opportunity to grow. In 2020 I completed a Master's in Applied Positive Psychology, seeking to bring the science of wellbeing to fitness and wellness. I've been honored to partner with NASM as an author on Certified Wellness Coach, the NASM blog, and the Better Than Fine podcast.
