Passionate about the human body, its capacity to perform work, and its adaptability to exercise, I found in the Kinesiology field an everlasting desire to learn.
My philosophy is centered on empowering individuals with knowledge to make positive health decisions.
As a Fitness professional I place great importance in the positive relationship shown between physical activity and enhanced health; therefore, I truly believe in the pursuit of a healthier life through exercise.
