What inspired you to work in Wellness/Fitness?
 I was always in athletics growing up and I have been in the health and fitness field for over 30 years. It is a passion of mine to be active on a daily basis and always improve myself.  But I really like to help others to achieve their goals and improve their life through fitness.

What do you enjoy most about working at the Wellness Center?

I enjoy seeing all our members progress with the health and fitness goals.

Favorite way to stay active or healthy?
Since I open the facility I work out everyday in my home gym before work, I love the way it starts my day and makes me feel even at 3 am .

Fun Fact About You:

I have 19 tattoos and have plans for at least another 5.

Go-To Pump-Up Song or Motivation Boost:
Haha I can listen to almost any music workout or to get me energized before a busy day.  Music heals my soul, so it is all what type of mood I am in from country to heavy metal to oldies.
