My journey into fitness began on the soccer field, where I spent much of my childhood and early adulthood playing the sport I loved. As I got older and throughout puberty, I became taller with more of a skinny-fat body composition, leading me to not like how I looked in the mirror. This dissatisfaction sparked a desire to improve my physique, leading me to explore different workout routines and nutritional strategies to build my physique and self-confidence.

As I delved deeper into fitness, watching endless amounts of YouTube videos and researching to find the “perfect” answer, I realized that proper nutrition and exercise were key not just to changing my appearance, but also to enhancing my overall health and performance. My passion for understanding the human body and how to improve it, drove me to pursue higher education, attending the University of Hawaii where I obtained my bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology, Health and Exercise Science.

During my time here, I earned several more certifications in fitness and nutrition, leading me to want to share and help others around me. I began my coaching journey at the biggest gym in my area, UFC GYM Honolulu, wanting to spread my knowledge and help as many individuals as possible overcome the obstacles that I once struggled with. Working my way up to the most successful coach at the gym throughout a year of learning and helping get clients results, I then finished school, but still wanting to help people.

Today, as a fitness coach, I draw on my personal experience and professional expertise to help others transform their lives. I am dedicated to creating customized workout plans and nutrition guidance that empower my clients to reach their goals.
