I’ve been an athlete for as long as I can remember. I started playing soccer at age seven and quickly fell in love with the game. Competition fueled me — and what I lacked in natural talent, I made up for with hard work and determination.
Like many young girls, I also struggled with body image and eating disorders. Then, at sixteen, everything changed. In one year, I shattered my leg in a soccer game, and just a month after being cleared to play again, I suffered a ruptured disc in my lower back. I woke up unable to feel my legs and had lost 90% of my strength. Doctors told me I’d never play soccer again, and surgery was my only option. The loss of my sport sent me into a deep depression, and I gained about fifty pounds. Five years later, it happened again and I had another surgery.
For years I dabbled in running, spin, and boot camps, but eventually I decided I wanted more for myself. I started lifting weights and teaching myself the science of fitness. I became disciplined with my nutrition, learning that food is fuel — not the enemy. That decision changed everything.
I went on to earn my personal training certification and began training other women and young female athletes. Fitness transformed my life in every way. It gave me confidence, strength, and discipline — both in and out of the gym. Most importantly, it reminded me that I can do hard things, mentally and physically.
Now, my mission is to help other women experience that same transformation — to show women that strength is beautiful, and that every challenge can be the start of something powerful.
