From this passion grew my desire to pursue a career in movement and fitness. In 2010, I enrolled myself at Algonquin College in pursuit of certifying myself as a personal trainer. I wanted to take my experiences and translate them into a fitness and wellness approach. Since then, I have discovered a passion for strength training, movement, and rehabilitation. Helping people move well, stay strong, and live pain-free is my focus. Taking up kettlebell sport and focusing on furthering my rehab training knowledge has really added to my adaptability and versatility as a PT. I am currently a Certified Personal Trainer with Sport Performance Institute and hold certifications such as Pain to Performance with Kinetic Performance, Strength and Speed Specialist with Agatsu Inc, Kettlebell Level 1 Instructor with Agatsu Inc, DTS Level 1 with Darby Training Systems, and Mobility Fundamentals for Prehab and Performance with Rehab U. I am constantly working to enhance my knowledge so that I can continue to enhance the lives of the people I train.

I began my career in personal training part-time in 2009, but a pivotal moment came in 2011 with the passing of my father. In his memory and with newfound purpose, I transitioned to full-time training. Although I stepped away from personal training in 2014, I continued to deepen my knowledge and expand my skills.
I joined the Team Kabuki online program, where I learned from some of the top strength athletes in the world. This five-year experience greatly enriched my expertise. After some time training independently, I remembered how much I enjoyed coaching and helping others, which led me to reconnect with my passion for personal training.
Today, I’m dedicated to using my experience and knowledge to guide and support you on your own fitness journey. Let’s work together to unlock your strength and transform your life.
