Major: Exercise Science

I became a Fitness Fundamentals Instructor to be the person I wished I had for myself when I started my fitness journey. When I first started exercising, I felt so incredibly out of place in the gym. For years, I struggled to build up the courage to take up space around people more experienced than me. My goal is to help others feel they belong in the gym, regardless of their experience. I want participants to walk away with a sense of comfort and excitement, knowing they are worthy and deserving of taking up space in the gym. The Ambler Rec Center is a very special place to me and I’m so happy to have the privilege to make this place just as special for others!
