I come to Specialty Training as a recent graduate of Eastern Washington University's Exercise Science program. I believe the best way to achieve a fitness goal is proper and consistent training. My experience in athletics has shown me the process of reaching a goal can often be more satisfying than reaching it.

As a former competitive athlete and current competitive sports coach, I’ve always had a love for fitness and exercise. This lead me to getting a B.S in Exercise Science in 2018 from WSU. After college, I went through a phase of being extremely unhealthy and not feeling good about myself. This lead me to get certified as a Personal Trainer and Nutrition Coach through NASM so I could learn to help myself and others who feel the same way. I work with women who need to establish healthy habits and want to feel good in their bodies. I focus on corrective and functional exercises that establish balance throughout the body, decreases aches and pains, and improves quality of life. My work goes outside the gym as I coach clients through lifestyle and nutrition habits that will bring them to their goals in a sustainable way.
