I’ll try to keep it short, though there is so much I can say! As for my profession, I’m a certified personal trainer, certified sports nutritionist and a model. I’ve been modeling for a year and I love it! It’s a really fun job. I’ve been a personal trainer for 4 years, and I got my sports nutritionist certification shortly after that. I started doing online personal training right away, which I still do. I opened my gym two and a half years ago, where I train people in person. I train all types of people with all different goals and abilities. I love being a trainer. It’s wonderful to help people look and feel their best.
Personally, I started running seriously when I was 7 years old. I knew from my time I ran my first race that I was meant to run. I was in track until I was 15, and also ran a lot of 5k road races. I did fairly well, and brought home lots of awards. In my teen years I felt a little burned out and wanted to spend time doing teenager things, so I took some time off; too much time. In my early 20’s I found myself way out of shape. That’s when I started working out again. I did some running, but nothing serious at first, then I started weight training. A couple years later I started training for my first figure competition. I used running as my cardio during cutting phases. After five figure competitions I knew I had accomplished what I had set out to do, but that my heart wasn’t in it. God led me back to running. I came to realize that running is a gift that God has blessed me with. I know that I cannot waste this gift, and I must use it to the fullest extent in order to bring glory to God. When I got back in to running I started out with a few 5ks and then trained for my first half marathon. I love distance! I was hooked. I’ve done several half marathons since, improving my time a little with each one.
