With over a decade of experience as a high school and collegiate athlete, I have learned what it takes to attain and maintain lofty accomplishments. My education can be summed up by my Bachelors in Exercise Science, a NASM CPT (Certified Personal Trainer), and a NASM CNC (Certified Nutrition Coach). My experience, as both an athlete and trainer, includes 8 years' experience as a lifeguard and water safety instructor, teaching mostly children (some adults) to swim. Additionally, I have been training and coaching in the disciplines of boxing, kickboxing, and BJJ for over 5 years.

I have a personal training history of almost a decade. I first interested in fitness as post-trauma training. Enhancing flexibility and muscular strength of injured individuals. Throughout my journey in fitness I worked with clients/ individuals whose goals were weight loss so added skills and knowledge to myself and I believe nutrition plays the key role. That's why I got trained in nutrition and as a person coming from Mediterranean culture, I also like cooking. Ready to help you with your goals and to create a feastable but goal oriented diet.

I strongly adhere to the idea that everyone's fitness journey is different, and the journey is truly one that is not a straight path. As both a fitness specialist (personal training, cycling, and group fitness), and a former classroom ty, I have extensive experience with meeting learners "where they are" as opposed to clinging to my own expectations. I believe closely listening to clients, changing up routines, and constant self-evaluation make teaching and training the best jobs in the world.

Before getting into personal training I was a NYC bike messenger for 6 years in my early 20s. Pushing the limits of my physical capabilities in the streets of New York delivering packages in a high stress, high stakes, very dangerous, and time sensitive manner. I was able to adapt my physical attributes that I had learned when I was a kid. From my experience playing competitive sports like basketball, baseball, track & field, I learn the fundamental principles of how important it is to stay in shape in order to interact with the physical world. I then pursued an interest in helping people get into shape and help them have a better relationship with their body. Getting my education at FPTI (Focus Personal Training Institute) and certified with ISSA (International Sports Science Association) I've been a personal trainer for 4 year.
