Biography & Certification

Background                                                                                                     

I have been involved in the field of health and fitness for more than 10 years in a variety of capacities.  I began my career as a student trainer while attending college in pursuit of a degree in Physical Education.  After graduation from college, I took a position as a Physical Education teacher in one of the Capital Region's public school districts.  This job has given me the opportunity to implement quality fitness programming to youth and adolescents alike while shaping the minds and bodies of our future.  I have a firm belief that a healthy lifestyle and habits must be developed and reinforced at an early age to help avoid the many risks associated with overweight and obesity.

In addition to working with youth and adolescents, I also enjoy the many benefits of helping adults achieve or maintain a health-enhancing level of physical fitness.  To compliment my certification as a physical education teacher, I also possess personal trainer certification from the American College of Sports Medicine, one of the oldest and most highly-respected fitness organizations in the field.
