Q: Where are you from?
A: Miami Florida

​

Q: How long have you been in Miami?

A: I have lived in Miami all of my life with the exception of living in Jamaica for a period of time when I was much younger. 

​

Q: How did you get into fitness?
A: I got into fitness because at a really young age I struggled with eating disorders. I thought the only way to feel good about myself was to look a certain way so that I could feel like I was worthy. I chased that rabbit whole for many years up until college and then realized that nothing exteriorly would make me love myself.

​

Q: Who influenced you the most?
A: My mom I don’t know anyone with her resilience and strength she raised four kids on her own. I didn’t always understand why she was so tough but as I grew older I realized whom she had to be to provide for us. She taught how to show up as a woman by her daily actions. Whether she possessed those qualities or not I learned to seek what I had or didn’t have because of her.

​

Q: Can you describe that "moment" (experience, emotion,) when you knew that you were pursuing your passion?
A: About 3 years ago it hit me as I was reading client reviews. I remember crying because there was and is a strong rhythm in what every person said. As a coach people come to for what seems to be a physical gain. But along the journey my clients gain so much more they gain self-worth and love and perspective on this journey called life. That journey looks very different for everyone and it's beautiful to be able to be a part of someone’s evolution and the relationships that’s formed is truly valuable

​

​​​Q: What does a typical day look like for you?

A: I wake up around 6 am most mornings and get my day going with coffee. I train typically about 3, sometimes 4 clients in the morning and have a break mid-day for a few hours. I typically train myself around 12-1:30 PM as well as program for my clients and study for school. And at about 5 pm I’ll start back up until 8 PM. Most of my days are filled with FUN trainer work that I enjoy.

​

​​​Q: What have you liked most about being a fitness coach?

A: The stories of so many different personalities.  People are so amazing. My favorite part is learning the person in front of me. As a coach I tend to so many energies and understanding and meeting my clients needs has been the most rewarding experience. 
 

​​​Q: What are some healthy tips you can share with us today?

A: Live consciously be aware of the choices that are being made on a daily basis and make choices that are aligned with your goals. Creating healthy lifestyle habits leads to sustainability and longevity. Be kind to yourself along the journey of evolution. Self-love is not a destination it’s a choice you decide we have to decide on at every stage of life. A perfect body won't make anyone love themselves more but having a vision and working towards something will help you create strong values that you can live by. That builds confidence and a beautiful belief system about self.

​

​​​Q: What are some of your “go-to” healthy snacks?

A: ***I love slicing up apples and drizzling natural crunchy peanut butter on top with toasted coconut flakes grounded flaxseed  and chia seed mix with light agave it’s so yummy I feel like I’m eating a dessert and if I’m on the I’ll grab any fruit or a pre-made shake that contains almond milk Orgain protein power w almond butter.

​

​​​Q: Any projects in the works?

A: I'm working on a podcast devoted to having open conversations especially about women that’s still in the works. I'm excited to create a platform that will have women be confident and expressive.

​

​​​Q: What is something most people wouldn’t know about you?

A: I love singing and it makes me feel free. I'm not sure how good I am but  I do it anyway. I definitely can hold a note maybe one day in front of a small crowd.
