About Me
​
I graduated from Central Michigan University with a Bachelors Degree in Exercise Science-Health Fitness in summer of 2023. I will also e going for my Masters in Exercise Physiology as a Graduate Assistant. I have been a really active person all my life from playing sports in high school to running 5ks, 10ks, half marathons and weightlifting in my free time in College.
I have two biological sisters Korey and Kadie, and then my mom remarried in 2012 to my stepdad Mark and now I have two step siblings Corey and Tia. Yes, fun fact about me I have two siblings named Korey and Corey. Active outlets like sports and weightlifting have been important for my mental health since losing my dad in 2016 and losing my brother Corey in 2021.
I grew up in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan in the small little town of Ishpeming. After Highschool I moved to Marquette and started college in 2018 at Northern Michigan University. This is where I grew a love for Exercise Science and started my weightlifting journey.
The summer of 2023 I got the amazing opportunity to intern at ETS Performance in Shelby Township, MI. At this facility I worked with athletes of all different kinds of sports from ages 7 all the way up to 27 years old, we made strength programs for each individual athlete, taught different exercise techniques, had different speed classes where we worked on top speed, plyometrics and running mechanics.
