I am from a small town in western PA and the eldest of four girls. I was very blessed to have grown up in a healthy and active environment. Growing up I studied ballet for numerous years and in high school I became captain of my cheer leading squad. I should have been happy! But throughout my high school years I struggled with an eating disorder and very low self-esteem. After graduation I enrolled in nursing school. I worked in a local hospital and a few different nursing homes but never felt fulfilled in my career. I had reached a low point in my life, I was beyond stressed, dealing with depression and very poor eating habits. I thought to myself "enough is enough" I want to change! I knew I needed guidance on my new journey so I started working with a personal trainer. She taught me proper nutrition and how to train my body. I was able rebuild myself into a whole new person; full of confidence. The experience gave me a whole new outlook on life! I am now an ACE Certified Personal T
