What is something you have changed your perspective on in the past two years?
I’ve learned that progress in fitness and in life is less about perfection and more about consistency. Small, steady actions over time create far greater results than trying to do everything all at once.
Who has been the most influential person in shaping you as a Health & Performance Coach?
My professor, Laura Hancharuk, has been an incredible mentor to me. She’s had a huge influence on how I approach coaching by showing me the importance of blending science, empathy, and communication in every client interaction.
Who has had the greatest impact on you as a person?
My family has had the greatest impact on who I am today. They’ve been my foundation, teaching me discipline, resilience, and the importance of hard work. I also believe everyone I’ve met in life has offered a lesson in some way, and I’m grateful for those experiences too.

Right now, I’m working on increasing my bench press numbers while continuing to build overall strength and athletic performance. Looking ahead, I’m also considering the possibility of competing in bodybuilding in the future as another way to challenge myself.
What inspired you to choose a career in the fitness and performance industry?
I started out by simply wanting to improve myself in the gym, but over time I realized how much I enjoyed helping others do the same.

That passion for helping people unlock their potential is what keeps me driven in this career.

What is your coaching philosophy?
I believe in building sustainable habits and tailoring programs to fit each client’s lifestyle and goals. My approach combines science-based training with motivation and accountability to help people unlock their best selves — and to find their own roar inside and bring it into every part of life.
