At the age of 10 I received a frightening diagnosis of T1 Diabetes. That day forever changed my life. I wasn't able to participate in sports at the time because unfortunately I was not managing my diabetes in the way I should have. Throughout school and thereafter I had a difficult time gaining weight and an even more difficult time with my self-esteem. 

 

5 years ago, I made a decision to no longer let my diabetes take hold of my life. I began my fitness journey that very same day. My A1C went from a 9 down to a 6.5 with continuous improvement. I began to focus on my protein intake and steadily gained muscle through incorporating weightlifting.

 

A few months ago, I officially left my corporate job and took the leap of faith to become a coach and personal trainer. Guiding others on their fitness and wellness journeys. I can confidently say, it's the best decision I've ever made.
