ABOUT ME

M.S. Health Promotion, B.S. Exercise Science

NASM-Certified Personal Trainer|Corrective Exercise Specialist|

Performance Enhancement Specialist|Online Coach 

​

My journey in health and fitness began as a personal mission and became a professional calling. As a multi-sport athlete growing up, I was always drawn to performance — but it was losing my father to a heart attack that transformed passion into purpose and ignited my unwavering commitment to helping others live healthier, longer lives.

​

I hold a B.S. in Exercise Science from Tennessee State University and a M.S. in Health Promotion and Disease Prevention from the University of Memphis. My education, combined with hands-on experience through D1 Sports Training and Therapy and over a decade as a fitness professional at Life Time Fitness, provided a strong foundation across personal training, group coaching, nutrition, and online programming. Through NASM, I hold certifications as a Certified Personal Trainer, Corrective Exercise Specialist, and Performance Enhancement Specialist.

​

My work spans from elite athletes to everyday individuals. I've provided specialized sports training and injury prevention for professional soccer players with Memphis 901FC, pursued advanced performance education under Coach Joey Diovisalvi and Steve Hess of the Denver Nuggets, and coached clients at every level of fitness. That same expertise extended to employee wellness and community health — partnering with organizations to build healthier workplace cultures, drive population health initiatives, and create sustainable wellness strategies that benefit both individuals and the communities they're part of.

​

My approach is always evidence-based and always personal. Whether you're an athlete chasing peak performance, a company investing in your team's wellbeing, or an individual ready to take control of your health — I meet you where you are and build a plan around your unique goals.

​

Everything I do is guided by the same commitment sparked by my father's passing: helping people build sustainable, healthy lifestyles that enhance both longevity and quality of life.

​​​

My mantra is  "Commitment + Consistency = Results."
