I am the owner of EmPower Fit! I’m so glad you’re here! I started working in the fitness industry in 2019 after almost 21 years working in the corporate world while raising my son and working towards financial freedom.

I have spent the last several years coaching nutrition and strength training in the form of functional bodybuilding through a family owned business in Dublin, Ohio. I coached large groups, provided 1:1 personal training as well as nutrition coaching. During that time, I obtained several certifications including, CrossFit L-1, Precision Nutrition L-1, USAW L-1 and ISSA-SSC. Additionally, I am CPR/AED certified.

I grew up in rural Pennsylvania where I learned hard work, loyalty, and a real appreciation for true meaningful connections and the simple things in life.

I am married, have a 21 year old “baby adult” and a 3-year-old Labrador retriever named Rolo.

I was a high school athlete and always very active growing up. I loved softball, basketball, volleyball and really any sport involving hand/eye coordination!

My passion for health and fitness resurfaced in my early 30’s as a young mom exhausted, mentally struggling and physically not feeling good in my body. I started out walking, then running and ultimately strength training. I spent a ton of time in my garage with an old barbell and weights my husband had from college. I spent countless hours watching Youtube videos to learn how to hinge, squat, pull and press. I found my way to a functional fitness gym in 2016 and it was there my passion was truly ignited!

My personal and professional experience with strength training has led me to create EmPower Fit. I am excited to share my passion and experience with you!
