BioFrom Athlete to Coach: My Journey in Fitness and Wellness Embracing a Life of Health and Helping Others Growing up in sunny San Diego, fitness was a way of life. I played soccer from age 4 to 30, as well as tennis, volleyball, and softball. Like so many, as I got older, my career took precedence over my health and fitness. A move to San Francisco, marriage, and two kids later, and I was 50 pounds overweight. In 2023, I was the Membership Director at the YMCA and an avid pickleball player. We brought pickleball to the Y and, after doing some casual lessons, I got certified to coach our members. After experiencing the joy I got from coaching others, I knew this was my calling. I transitioned from Membership Director to full-time Pickleball Coach. As my health and fitness improved, I was determined to keep going, and to do more! I knew that if I could get fit, anyone could, and I wanted to be a part of it. And so my journey began to become a personal trainer and nutrition coach. Today, I am so fortunate to connect daily, and support, like-minded people along their health and wellness journeys. I can’t wait to connect with you!
