I’ve always loved movement and competition. Growing up, I played basketball, volleyball, and golf, and some of my favorite memories are flipping tires in the driveway with my dad. As I got older, that passion only grew. I was waking up before school to train in high school, and eventually found my way to powerlifting.

While training came naturally to me, nutrition was a different story. I grew up in a family that loved cooking and spending time together in the kitchen, but I never felt like I truly understood how to fuel my body for both performance and health. Throughout my athletic journey, I worked with different coaches, yet nutrition always seemed like the missing piece.

Everything changed when I met Coach Joni at a powerlifting meet in 2022. Working with her transformed not only my approach to nutrition but also my perspective on what coaching could be. She showed me that nutrition doesn’t have to be restrictive or overwhelming. It can be a tool to help you perform better, recover well, and still enjoy life outside the gym. That experience inspired me to help others fuel their bodies with confidence, build sustainable habits, and pursue their goals without sacrificing the things they love.

Today, my goal is to help athletes and active individuals build sustainable nutrition habits, strengthen their relationship with food, and gain the confidence to fuel their bodies without second-guessing every choice.
