Who I am

Hey there! Welcome to my page and thank you for hanging out with me. I am a personal trainer and a Pilates teacher in Tampa, FL, and my goal is to help YOU discover your potential through movement.

Before my journey in fitness, I was a dancer. I went to school as a dance major from 6th grade until my freshman year of college at USF. While I still hold dance close to my heart, I decided that I wanted to take my professional career in a different direction. I changed my major to Exercise Science and discovered my love for strength training. I began competing in powerlifting in 2015, and shortly there after began an internship at Elite Strength and Conditioning, where I still currently work as a strength coach. Since graduating, I have worked in Wellness Centers, Community Centers, Strength  & Conditioning, and have trained a wide variety of clientele. I have also grown my Pilates education & teaching experience simultaneously with my personal training, and have recently opened my own small studio known as emBRACE Pilates.

My goal is to help teach people to feel comfortable & confident in the gym, to help people discover their strength potential, and to teach clients how wonderful movement can be for the body and mind.
