A Bit About Me
I moved to San Diego in 2011 to finish my masters degree in Speech-Language Pathology. I quickly fell in love with southern California and decided to make San Diego my home. The beautiful weather, friendly people, and active community inspired me to pursue a personal training certification through NASM.
Since 2011, I have worked as a speech pathologist in a variety of settings, including schools, hospitals, and early intervention. Volunteering as a Speech Pathologist in Central and South America helped me achieve fluency in Spanish and learn about language development in a variety of countries. I also had to opportunity to teach group fitness classes as well as individual movement classes.
I am an avid cyclist, hiker, and surfer. In addition, I am a fitness enthusiast motivated to help individuals achieve functional movement and minimize risk of injury. I look forward to working with you.
