I've spent much of my life dancing, including several years training with Idaho Dance Theatre while earning my BS in Psychology and Dance from Boise State University. My dance background has given me a strong appreciation for movement, body mechanics, and strength, while my psychology education influences how I approach fitness through motivation, habit-building, and understanding that everyone's relationship with movement is different.

I believe fitness should be about more than how you look or what you can lift. It's about discovering what your body can do and building the strength and resilience to enjoy life. I became a Certified Personal Trainer after recognizing a gap in dance education; many dancers develop technique for years without learning how to cross-train or build strength like athletes. Initially, I wanted to help bridge that gap and give dancers the tools to support injury prevention and career longevity.

But, fitness isn't just for athletes and dancers! I love helping people of all backgrounds and experience levels build strength, improve mobility, gain confidence, and find movements that fit their lives. Whether you're new to strength training, working toward a specific goal, or simply wanting to stay active and feel your best, I believe training should be individualized, purposeful, and useful beyond the gym. Everyone deserves a life full of movement!

Outside of fitness, I'm an Idaho native who loves camping and hiking in big forests. I'm also a creative at heart and enjoy crafting, sewing, painting, and watching fantasy shows and musicals, while my cat slightly judges me from across the room. I'm always looking for something new to learn or create.

I'm excited to help you find movement that works for you!
