Hi everyone! I am originally from Longmont, Colorado, but I grew up in Queen Creek, Arizona. Ever since I was little, my mom and dad would always encourage me to be active. I never understood why until I started to become more physically fit. My fitness journey began when I was 10 years old, with my mom taking me to the gym for the first time. I then realized that if I wanted to reach my athletic goals, I would need to continue going to the gym to achieve those goals. I was a very successful wrestler in high school, and to this day, I have made a religious habit of going to the gym.
When I was in high school, I started to shadow Physical Therapy clinics. This is when my desire to become a Physical Therapist began to flourish. I have worked at multiple different physical therapy offices for the past five years, learning and understanding more about the human body. Understanding how the human body functions and moves is one of the most fascinating things to me. I am currently in my undergraduate program to receive a Bachelor’s Degree in Fitness and Wellness, with the goal of progressing to get my Doctorate in Physical Therapy.
You may have questions about why I want to become a Personal Trainer if I am aiming to become a Physical Therapist. I want to bridge the gap between Physical Therapy Rehabilitation and continuing on throughout the rest of someone's life physically. Too many people go to Physical Therapy, do very well at following the protocol described, but the second these patients leave, they stop being physically active. This is the gap I want to bridge. People need to know the importance of their physical fitness to better improve their lives. I am a personal trainer to help people achieve their goals and improve their quality of life!
