In 2008 I graduated from The University of Georgia with a degree in psychology, an addiction to lifting weights, and perhaps a small hangover. Never mind the degree or potentially excessive alcohol consumption - the best thing that I discovered in those 4 years was a personal trainer. Since my college-sized wallet was quite displeased with this addition to the budget, my college-sized brain decided to make the most of it. I began asking to learn as many new movements as possible and took detailed notes following each session. 

Post-college I decided I wanted to share my passion for fitness with others and became a trainer at a fitness center for women. In 2009, I continued to expand my knowledge of training styles by hiring a CrossFit Certified Personal Trainer. That same year I also decided to pursue a Master’s Degree in Nutrition. Fitness Battalion and I finally crossed paths in early 2010 when a good friend of mine, the one and only Jon B, told me about an opportunity to become a boot camp instructor. I have been a proud member of the Fitness Battalion team ever since.

Although I am not yet a Registered Dietitian, I thoroughly enjoy sharing my knowledge of nutrition with others and welcome all questions from the Fitness Battalion community. I am always accessible by e-mail or can easily be located in the park - just listen for my laugh.
