About Me


I am goal driven, knowledge seeking, challenge needing, balance finding, child of the universe.
I believe that what I can dream, I can manifest; it's all just a matter of priorities. I know that when I do the next right thing, life falls into place. I look for the lesson in adversity...albeit long after the fact. "I've been up, down, over and under..." and I've learned that nothing lasts forever.
The only one in the universe who will always be there is my Goddess Isis (most people know her as God), and the only one who will never judge me is my dog.

AND HERE TOO!
I am a full-time doctoral student at University of Miami in the field of Exercise Physiology. I also own and operate The Coaching Corner Fitness Studio.
I love keeping fit, and I love working in the fitness industry because I get to help people achieve their goals. There is nothing of value I can obtain that does not increase its value a thousand fold upon its bestowal to someone else. When I am a leader and a role model I become accountable to others, and in this arrangement I always get way more than I could ever give.
So on that note, if you have a question or comment about exercise, nutrition, or the fitness lifestyle, please send it to me. I would love to hear from you!
