Summary

As a lifelong athlete with a passion for fitness, I'm excited to bring my energy and expertise to a personal training role. With a diverse background in competitive sports such as swimming, volleyball, kickboxing, and jiujitsu, I've developed a strong foundation in physical conditioning and technique. As a swim instructor for the City of Vancouver since 2022, I've honed my ability to motivate and guide others in achieving their goals. I'm now eager to transition to the gym floor, where I can help clients achieve their full potential and reach new heights in their fitness journeys. With my unique blend of athleticism, teaching experience, and enthusiasm, I'm confident in my ability to inspire and empower others to reach their highest level of physical fitness.
