Built in the Grind. Forged for life.
I believe that true strength isn’t just about the weights you lift—it’s about the person you become while lifting them.
My journey into fitness was driven by a simple realization: Transformation doesn’t happen in comfort. It happens in the “grind”—those early mornings, the extra reps, and the daily commitment to being better than you were yesterday.
My Mission At Fuel & Forged Fitness, my mission is to empower busy professionals to reclaim their health and unlock their full potential. Grounded in faith and fueled by discipline, I provide the data-driven strength and nutrition coaching necessary to forge a resilient physique and a lifestyle that demands no compromises.
Why I Coach Differently
Most fitness programs fail because they demand an “all-or-nothing” mindset. They tell you that you can’t have a social life, or that fitness has to be your entire personality.
I don’t believe in that. I help my clients turn “soft” into “strong” while building a lifestyle that actually allows for a Friday night out. Whether we are training in my fully equipped home gym, your local gym, or through a virtual plan, my goal is to meet you exactly where you are and provide the roadmap to where you want to be.
What to Expect
When you work with me, you aren’t just getting a workout “list.” You are getting:
- Customized Strategy: Every body is different. Your plan will be tailored to your specific history, goals, and lifestyle.
- A Supportive Community: Whether in 1-on-1 sessions or group classes, you’ll be surrounded by like-minded individuals who push you to shine.
- Honest Accountability: I’ll be there to guide you through the movement assessments and nutritional hurdles, ensuring every step you take is a step toward a better you.
The grind today is what creates the shine tomorrow. Let’s get to work.

About me
Hi there! I’m blessed to be married to my incredible husband, Chris, who’s my biggest supporter, loudest cheerleader and the best partner I could ask for. We are proud parents to an ambitious 25-year-old son, an incredibly talented 21-year-old daughter and our adventurous 18-year-old son. Plus, we can’t forget our four crazy dogs who, keep us on our toes!
My heart beats for Jesus, and I credit everything I am to God. With 24 years of coaching under my belt, I love helping others uncover their strengths. Fitness is my passion, and it’s been a thrilling journey for 16 years! I’ve tackled countless 5Ks, 10Ks, half marathons, and even a wild 207-mile relay. I’ve completed multiple obstacle races, including the Spartan Trifecta, which means I’ve conquered the Sprint, Super, and Beast in one year. Oh, and I’ve dabbled in bodybuilding as a figure competitor—talk about a challenge!
I come from a big, loud, and loving family where the love and support is unconditional and endless and the fun never stops. I love sports, hiking, paddled boarding, camping, basically anything that involves soaking in the beauty of nature! Whether I’m at the gym or soaking up the sun by the water, I’m all about living life to the fullest and embracing every moment.
