University Ave. Personal Trainer

About

I'm here to support you and help break through the real and perceived barriers to your fitness goals. With over six years of experience in personal, partner, and small-group training, I make sure every client feels seen, heard, and coached with care. My experience spans pre- and post-natal mothers, youth and college athletes, seniors with varying health needs, and people looking to refocus on their well-being after years of putting others first. I hold a B.S. in Kinesiology from the University of Wisconsin (Go Badgers!), am an ACE-certified trainer, and a current GIFT Fellow—developing advanced skills in rehab, performance, and practical movement. I love helping people move better, whether you're an athlete, feeling stuck, or somewhere in between. Outside of training, I enjoy reading, learning piano, practicing Spanish, spending time with family, and planning my next outdoor adventure.

Q & A

Q: Why did you become a personal trainer?

A: I’ve always enjoyed helping people achieve their goals, and personal training is one way to help people in a way that affects their whole lives. I love seeing peoples’ “a-ha!” moment when they feel their body perform in ways they didn’t think they could.

Q: What has been one of your favorite client experiences?

A: Most recently, I was fortunate to see a lifetime runner gain control of his knee pain with just a few simple stretches and exercises. After he expressed such frustration and feelings of being “stuck” early in our time together, it was especially fulfilling to see him go after new goals with greater ease.

Q: What is your proudest physical achievement?

A: Overall, my rehabilitation from ACL reconstruction was, and has been, a great challenge but a rewarding experience. Although I ultimately decided to walk away from college athletics, encountering great physical therapists, trainers, coaches, and even a dance instructor has given me invaluable experience in human movement.

Q: Why do you love Orange Shoe?

A: I love Orange Shoe because of the positive environment! Being able to communicate at a high level with clients as well as other teammates makes my job even more enjoyable.
