Meet Your Coach
Originally from Delano, CA, I encountered challenges with an eating disorder during high school, stemming from struggles with self-esteem and confidence. However, this difficult time marked the beginning of my journey towards health and wellness.
Discovering the power of fitness and nutrition became my turning point. As I implemented a consistent workout routine and developed healthier eating habits, I began to see remarkable changes not only in my physical appearance but also in my overall well-being.
In 2012, I embarked on a career in fitness as a Group Class Fitness Instructor. This role later evolved into a lead trainer position at Wonderful Citrus Company, where I played a key role in their employee wellness program.
Driven by my passion for fitness, I delved into various competitive sports, including Mixed Martial Arts, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Bodybuilding, and Powerlifting. These experiences not only fueled my personal growth but also deepened my understanding of the importance of physical health.
Parallel to my fitness journey, I pursued higher education and moved to Los Angeles, graduating from Cal State University Los Angeles. During my time there, I deepened my expertise in nutrition by earning my Bachelor's degree in Nutritional Science.
My journey also led me to participate in the Wellness Workdays Dietetic Internship, where I gained valuable insights into nutrition and health through diverse rotations at facilities such as Davita Dialysis Clinics, Worksite Wellness Los Angeles, and Memorial Hospital of Gardena. These experiences provided me with the prerequisites to obtain my credentials as a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist.
Collaborating with professionals in holistic health and wellness, as well as contributing to the organization of health conferences, has been a rewarding aspect of my career. I'm deeply committed to helping others lead healthier and more fulfilling lives.
Additionally, I hold certifications as a Personal Trainer through National Academy of Sports Medicine and as a Pain-Free Performance Specialist. Beyond my professional pursuits, I enjoy dancing, traveling, immersing myself in new cultures, cooking, and living out my principles. I believe in authenticity and staying true to our core values. Each of us possesses a unique purpose, and it's essential to embrace and pursue it wholeheartedly.
