About

I started my fitness career as a coach for Playworks, a nonprofit program that serves low-income schools in major urban areas. Through Playworks, I learned the power of safe, fun and healthy play, creating a place for everyone to feel included, be active, and build valuable social and emotional skills. In 2013 I was recruited by Education for Change to teach Health and Fitness at an East Oakland charter school. There I taught Physical Education to elementary and middle school students, and I continue to be passionate about bringing out the best in everyone. Currently, I specialize in functional strength and conditioning, self myofascial releases (SMR), and posture work. Functional training helps you build strength, power, and mobility that translates beyond the gym. It’s “real world” fitness. I am excited to help you maximize your potential and achieve your fitness goals, as well as bring about a sense of fun and life-balance.
