Born and raised in rural Wisconsin, I am a small-town girl living in the glitz and wild energy of Las Vegas! I was raised on a lake in a very rural small town and taught that hard work and determination will get you everywhere in life. I was a very active child, participating in competitive gymnastics and then volleyball, track and field and I was a hockey and basketball cheerleader. (And yes, in Wisconsin, we had hockey cheerleaders!)

This is where my enthusiasm for sports and all things athletic began! And so too, did my fitness career. I began personal fitness training in college to make ends meet and fell in love with bodybuilding. I found bodybuilding to be rewarding; it was one thing that you definitely got out of it what you put in. I began competing in female fitness competitions and it would become my focus for the best part of the next 10 years.

I moved from Wisconsin to New Mexico for college and my degree focus was on Broadcast Journalism and Communications. I wanted to have a blog in college but in those days, it would have taken a lot more effort and drive to get one started! I moved to Las Vegas, still competing, and found the city life to be a perfect match for personal training.

I met my now husband 3 years after moving to Las Vegas and we’ve been married 14 years. We have 3 children, 2 together, Ella (11) and Ben (10) as well as Amelia (23) from his previous marriage. I have been a stay at home Mom since the beginning of motherhood and found this to be the most rewarding part of my days! I haven’t missed a thing as they’ve grown and I wouldn’t want it any other way.

I am a passionate, optimistic, happy-go-lucky type and I’m hoping my story gives you hope and inspiration to strive to be the best version of you: THE TRUEST VERSION!
