“As a fitness professional in cardiac rehabilitation at Sacred Heart Hospital Hart Center and McKenzie-Willamette Hospital (Eugene, OR) occupational and physical therapy departments, I gained extensive experience fitness training men and woman of all ages and physical abilities.

I was raised in Bozeman, Montana and lived in Oregon, so I developed a real love for the great outdoors that is part of my fitness regimen. I enjoy road and mountain biking, as well as hiking. I also competed in alpine and cross-country skiing, and played tennis and ran cross-country at the collegiate level, so I have a strong sense of conditioning needs for these strenuous sports.

Now that my competitive days are long behind me, I enjoy weight training, cycling, running (shuffling), and yoga. As a Wellness Director and Personal Trainer, taking all these diverse fitness aspects and helping people discover the variety of ways to stay fit is a real highlight in my life and career.
