About Me

Why Fitness Chose Me?

Growing up, I’ve always had the desire to help others. In high school, the only class I had an interest for was biology. When exploring my career options, I’ve always correlated helping others with common careers in the medical field such as a: physician, nurse, or a surgeon. My father was in the medical field, I would go to work with him to different nursing homes, hospitals, and patients’ homes. Therefore, I was DETERMINED to become a nurse because of my passion to help others and to follow in my father’s footsteps.

Fast forward, I attended a four-year university with the intentions of becoming a nurse. I worked VERY hard to receive A’s in all of the pre-requisite courses needed to apply and be accepted into the nursing program. As my junior year approached, I studied for an entry exam to enter nursing school. I took the exam once, and scored high. I GOT ACCEPTED! The happiest time in my life. One thing I was unaware of: the hard work it took for me to get accepted into nursing school, it was going to take ten times the effort to stay in! During my first semester in nursing school, my father became ill. I was no longer mentally invested in my studies, I wanted to be home every day with him. His illness really affected me physically, emotionally, and spiritually. I started to fall back on my studies. I decided to stop nursing because I did not want to be there anymore. This was the first time in my life that I’ve felt failure of that magnitude. I knew that changing my major would allow me more free time to visit my father, while continuing my studies. I chose to pursue my career in Exercise Sports Science. I hated the idea of Exercise Sports Science / Personal Training because it was not nursing. I told myself many times that I would not use this bachelor’s degree for what it’s worth: “I am going to get a job in the federal government, make money, & be content” is what I told myself over and over!

After I graduated college with my Bachelor’s of Science in Exercise Sports Science, I moved back home with my parents and got a job in the government. At first, when I started working, I was content. After about five months of working in the government, I was BORED. I felt like I was not using all my knowledge that I’ve learned from school & it was going to waste. I started to think of other ways I could make extra income, that I would actually enjoy doing. FITNESS was the answer. I’ve been an athlete my entire life, might as well put it to use. In the past, the sports I played were: tennis, track, softball, and volleyball. During college, I would always exercise with friends on a consistent basis. Now, I am a full-time personal trainer and this is my DESTINY. I believe that nursing did not work out because God was preparing me for greater. I am forever thankful for my experiences because those experiences shaped me into the person I am today. I am still able to help my community live healthier lives and educate them on the importance of living a healthy lifestyle.
