My story

Rooted in movement, growth and service.

My journey has always been rooted in movement, personal growth, and helping others. I grew up as a dancer and cheerleader. I went to Las Vegas Academy for performing arts as a dance major and at just 16, I began working with women as a fitness concierge for a circuit training gym in Las Vegas. That experience sparked my passion for encouraging others and helping women feel more confident in their health and fitness journeys. Over the years, fitness has remained a constant in my life, shaping not only my physical strength but also my discipline, confidence, and ability to pursue the things I love.

In 2024, I won the title of Mrs. Nevada International, a yearlong commitment that challenged me to represent my state while continuing to show up for my family and business. Maintaining my fitness routine helped me build the stamina and energy to navigate the demands of a pageant competition, without losing sight of what mattered most to me. That experience reinforced something I believe deeply: taking care of yourself isn't separate from living a full life. It's one of the things that helps make it possible.

Today, I'm the founder of My Empire and a personal trainer in Cedar City, Utah. My personal training education has been through the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM). I’m also a wife to my high school sweetheart and mom to two amazing boys. My faith is at the heart of who I am. I believe we're called to live with purpose, lead by example, and use the gifts we've been given to serve others. I'm passionate about helping women recognize their strengths and discover what they can accomplish when they invest in themselves.

Beyond the gym

A full, beautiful life.

When I'm not training at the gym, you can find me homeschooling my boys, tending to our little homestead, and spending time with our two English bulldog puppies, Po the Potato and Aurora, our very own Sleeping Beauty. I also love performing in local community theater. In 2026, I had the joy of being in The Sound of Music, Annie, and the OSU Rock Gold Concert as a dancer. Exercise gives me the strength, endurance, and stamina to keep up with late-night rehearsals, powerhouse performances, and busy days while still having the energy to be present for my family and clients. I'm also a published author of My Empire: Living Life with Purpose, a daily planner created to help people live intentionally and make the most of each day.

These experiences have shaped the way I approach fitness and coaching. I understand firsthand that time is valuable, responsibilities are real, and a healthy lifestyle needs to work within the life you already have. You don't have to sacrifice your health to chase your dreams. True success comes from balancing both, which ultimately unlocks deeper confidence, a sense of purpose, and a truly meaningful life.

No perfection required, just come as you are.

As a personal trainer, I help women improve endurance, build strength, feel more confident in their bodies, and develop sustainable habits that support their health and personal goals. My approach is centered around progress over perfection. No perfection required, just come as you are, and together we will conquer your goals through consistency day by day. I believe fitness should challenge you in the right ways, fit your individual needs, and be enjoyable enough to maintain for the long term. You can work toward your goals, become stronger, enjoy dessert, make memories with your family, and still live a full, beautiful life.

I am here to help you build your empire one workout at a time.

My Philosophy
I believe fitness shouldn't take over your life. It should give you the strength to live it fully.

Taking care of yourself isn’t separate from loving your family or chasing your dreams; it is the foundation that makes it all possible.

01

Stamina for What Matters

Exercise is fuel. Whether you are homeschooling, performing on stage, or running a business, physical strength unlocks the endurance and energy you need to be deeply present for the people and moments that matter most.

02

Progress Over Perfection

True transformation happens through daily consistency, not flawless execution. You can build sustainable, lifelong habits, conquer your goals, and still enjoy dessert and make memories with your family.

03

Purpose and Leadership

Your health is part of the legacy you leave. By investing in your own well-being, you lead by example, honor your faith, and use your strengths to lift up and serve others.

04

Seamless Integration

A healthy lifestyle must work within the reality of your busy schedule. Fitness should challenge you in the right ways, fit your individual lifestyle, and be enjoyable enough to maintain for the long term.
