When I receive and inquiry about personal training, the first thing I do is send a full questionnaire to the individual so that I can get to know more about them. I set up a complimentary assessment for them in which we go through a 30 minute workout to assess physical ability. I also allow time after the workout to go over answers to the questions that I sent to them. After gathering and analyzing this information altogether, I give suggestions as to what I think would help the person reach their goals as quickly as possible. I believe this approach is appropriate because most trainers will begin training a client without obtaining a full understanding of the individual. This can often result in goals taking much longer to reach and potential injury.

My approach to personal training encompasses three different aspects of fitness. Firstly, where the mind goes, the body follows. I believe that each individual who wants to start personal training must be mentally prepared for their transformation. I will help to motivate, encourage and inspire each client so they remain strong in their decision to continue to reach their goal. I motivate clients by making workouts enjoyable! I try to include workouts that they personally enjoy as much as I can.I also set a reward system in place. I allow them to state a short term goal(s) and a long term goal. With each goal, they will list a reward for themselves. When they reach that goal, they will be able to reward themselves with something they enjoy! Secondly, the body must be treated in such a way that it is catered to the individual. It is important that when starting personal training, you have a trainer that customizes your fitness regiment to your needs. You will find no cookie cutter approach while training with me. I will always switch up workouts to maintain optimal weight loss, muscle building or sports performance enhancement. Thirdly, the fuel that your body requires must come from food that fits your goals. Nutrition is just as important as doing the workouts. I make sure that each and every one of my clients has the tools that they need to succeed in their fitness goals including an original meal plan for their body type. Everyone is different, so no approach is the same. Some people may need a cardio based routine while another individual may benefit more from weight lifting, mobility exercises, etc. I believe that I possess the ideal characteristics that a personal trainer should have. I have knowledge and experience with various types of clients, I have a unique approach that allows each clients' experience to be very customized, and I have a genuine love for helping people. My goal for you is not to continue training you for years. I want to see my clients succeed and build confidence in themselves so that they can become their own personal trainer. I am blessed to have the skills to facilitate your success and I desire to share your success with you along your fitness journey.

I have attended the University of Texas at San Antonio in pursuit of my Kinesiology degree with a concentration in Athletic Medicine. I have studied anatomy, physiology, exercise science, nutrition, injury prevention, and biomechanics at UTSA. Apart from my professional degree, I have received my personal training certification in which I studied group exercise, exercise prescription for special populations, corrective exercises, meditation, yoga and sports conditioning. I have had experience in utilizing these learned skills in the years that I have been personal training. I have worked out of two different private gyms in which I have been able to aid my clients in reaching goals that they have had for years.

From a very young age, I became very passionate about health and wellness. I became determined to break the trend of diabetes and heart disease in her own family by adopting healthy ways of life. As a result, I grew up to become a competitive runner and swimmer.

At this show, I placed 2nd place in my figure category and top ten in my bikini category.
