A Little About Me

I am so in love with health and fitness. I am originally from Oklahoma City, OK, and I now reside in LA. I do train a lot of celebrities, but I love my working moms just as much! Currently I am working on my first book, and workout DVD. I welcome exchanging ideas and tips with everyone.

When I Started Working Out

I started as a ballet dancer when I was six years old. I started teaching and lifting weights when I was 19.

How I Started

I took a weight training course as an elective, my sophopmore year in college. The teacher was so cute I listened and actually learned something!

Why I Love It

I have always been athletic, and I am addicted to the rush I get from being strong and healthy. I also love being a positive role model for other women of color.

How I Stay Motivated

I stay motivated because I made a promise to keep myself in shape as long as life will allow me to. I am also motivated by awesome clothes. LOL!

My Worst Injury

My worst injury was an ankle sprain I had when I was 15. It took me over 10 years to heel completely.
