I fell in love with fitness right after my diagnosis with type 1 juvenile diabetes at age 17. I realized that even though I had been hit with this disease, I could still take charge over my health and thrive.

During my college years, I was also diagnosed with chronic fatigue and Sjogren’s disease. I was underweight, weak, incredibly fatigued, and inflamed most of the time. I decided to fight for my health and have never looked back.

God allowed me to overcome these illnesses through strength training, dietary changes, and by breaking poor habits. I’m 28 and feel better than I did when I was 18. I now have a passion for helping others reach their health and fitness goals too!
