My Story
My journey into wellness began like many—battling self-esteem and body image issues as an overweight adolescent. It wasn't until a transformative decision in high school to embrace fitness and nutrition that my life changed direction. As I shed pounds and gained confidence, my passion for helping others ignited, evolving from assisting friends and family to empowering a broader community.
​
Initially, my career took a detour through law enforcement, where I learned invaluable lessons in resilience and discipline. Yet, my heart longed for a deeper connection—leading to a pivot towards a career in fitness. Transitioning from law enforcement, I immersed myself in the fitness industry, coaching a diverse range of clients from health-focused individuals to competitive athletes. This experience deepened my empathy and understanding, reinforcing my commitment to personalized coaching.
​
StrongerThan, my coaching platform, is the culmination of my personal and professional evolution. Here, I offer more than just workouts; I deliver tailored fitness programs designed around each client's unique psychological, biological, and sociological factors. My approach is 100% evidence-based, focused on outcomes that are entirely about you—your goals, your journey, your transformation.
​
From self-doubt to self-discovery, I have navigated the path of transformation and am dedicated to guiding you through yours. If you're ready to leave behind the cycle of temporary fixes for a journey of sustainable wellness, let's partner together. At StrongerThan, we're not just about becoming stronger—we're about becoming your best self.
