I began my fitness journey 5 years ago in a boot-camp workout class where I learned the basics of working out. From there, I bought my own gym membership, started creating my own workout plans, and began to love feeling strong! Now, I have been lifting for over 5 years and help other women achieve their fitness goals!
I began my exercise journey by lifting every. single. day. I never took a rest day and never gave myself a break.
Now, I practice balanced eating and intuitive exercising. I don’t put a label on how I choose to exercise. I like strength training, cardio, workout classes, yoga, pilates… everything! I believe a balanced workout program includes hard work, but also fun! I bring a holistic and balanced approach to my personal training clients through creating individualized and sustainable exercise programs.

I became a certified personal trainer in July 2023 from NSCA. In January 2024, I became USAW Level 1 certified coach and in April 2025 I became a CSCS. In May of 2024 I received my B.S. in Exercise Science and 1 Year later I received my M.S. in Kinesiology with a concentration in Strength & Conditioning!

I have experience with coaching all skill levels, from beginner to advanced. I have worked with clients from ages 18-65! Most of my experience is with coaching beginner, female lifters but I also have experience with college & high school athletes.
I was the previous Strength & Conditioning Coach for Sport Clubs + Performing Arts at UNC Charlotte. As the former president of the Lady Lifters club, I gained over 2 years of experience helping women of various skill levels.
I currently train both in person & online at Inertia Fitness Co, a private personal training studio in Charlotte, North Carolina!

I specialize in creating well-rounded programs that are resistance-training based. I offer personalized one-on-one online coaching tailored for women. My approach focuses on helping clients discover their gym niche, form healthy & sustainable habits, and integrate exercise, nutrition, and healthy habits seamlessly into their lifestyle.

As a coach, my first goal is to establish a good, solid relationship with my clients. I believe coaching women requires trust, understanding, & acceptance so we can work together to reach your goals!
I will never program something for you that I do not, or have not done my self!
Finally, I like to focus on the psychological & emotional side of personal training. I believe that your attitudes & feelings towards exercise & health play a major role in your health & fitness success.
