My Story
My health journey has been anything but typical. Born two months premature, I faced RSV and severe asthma as a child. Doctors told my family I would never live a normal life. In a sense, they were right—but these challenges became the foundation of my resilience. Instead of being defined by my limitations, I used them to propel myself beyond the expectations set for me. My dedication to health and fitness has taught me the discipline to achieve every goal I set.
While I tried many sports growing up, cheerleading became my passion. Competing as a young athlete taught me the importance of training and discipline early on. However, my focus on strength training didn’t develop until college, where I discovered its transformative impact on both body and mind.
I earned my undergraduate degree in Sports Medicine with a minor in Chemistry from Howard University. During an internship at EXOS in Pensacola, Florida, I facilitated training and nutrition plans for college recruits, Eagle Fund military personnel, and professional athletes. This experience ignited my passion for bodybuilding, ultimately leading to me achieving International Federation of Bodybuilding (IFBB) professional status.
The lessons I learned through bodybuilding went beyond physical discipline it taught me the value of balance. I explored how to maintain results with sustainable strategies, moving away from restrictive routines. This deepened my understanding of both physical and mental resilience.
Now, as I pursue my master’s degree in Nutritional Science at Howard University to become a registered dietitian, my mission extends beyond individual transformation. I am driven to help reduce health disparities by addressing the root causes of nutritional inequities. Through culturally informed nutrition education, accessible interventions, and evidence-based care, I aim to empower underserved communities to lead healthier lives. My goal is to ensure that everyone, regardless of their background, has the tools and resources to achieve optimal health.
My personal experiences, from overcoming health challenges to competing as an athlete, fuel my passion for making a difference. I am committed to helping clients discover their inner athlete and accomplish goals they once thought impossible. Through personalized guidance, I hope to inspire balance, resilience, and sustainable health outcomes for all.
