After graduating from Cal State University, Long Beach with a Business Marketing degree, I did a lot of soul searching when it came time to looking for a career path. I held several jobs in sales and consumer marketing when I finally realized that my passion was for my own health and fitness and to inspire others. I decided that personal training and nutrition were the areas that best fit my personality and interests. I am an avid runner and had run over a dozen half marathons and the LA Marathon. Running and doing Strength Training has given me PR times that no other training has. ShambaVibe has changed my life and I look forward to the opportunity to continue sharing my experiences and introducing the value of the training to newcomers, friends and family.

My adventures in training started in April 2012 after a couple of girlfriends convinced me to come to ShambaVibe. What started as a one-week trial, turned into a one-month commitment to get ready for an upcoming vacation in Hawaii and before I knew it, I was a regular at the gym. I started to see how training was bringing inspiration to my life, and I found that the activities that I not only worked the hardest for, but also felt the most accomplishment from, had always involved helping others. So with the support of the ShambaVibe team as well as it’s members (family really), I became a coach in November 2013. I look forward to coming to the box every afternoon whether it’s to coach a class or train with my fellow Vibers. I’m a SoCal kid – born and raised – who enjoys life through arts and crafts, baking, eating, and doing all of the above with friends and family.

I have also launched a few diet challenges that promote healthy eating habits and constantly remind all my athletes that nutrition is key to successfully reaching their fitness goals. I believe that competitions are a great way, if not the best way, to put your skills and training to the test.
