Concord, NC

Growing up sandwiched between two brothers, I was no stranger to sports and played competitive soccer, even into my adult life. It wasn't until I landed a job in management, ironically managing a Country Club Fitness Center & Spa, shortly before having my first child, that my own health took the back burner. Gaining 60lbs during pregnancy, working long hours, and feeling overworked, unfulfilled, & stressed, I quickly found myself in a place of hopelessness. The soccer league I was on had games that were way too late now that I had a family, and getting to the gym on top of my 60hr work week meant more time away from my baby, which brought on serious mom guilt. Fast forward two years and another child later, and I completely lost my identity, no longer the cheerful person I once was, and certainly no longer the active person I had always been. By God's grace, my husband Jamal took on the role as Head Trainer for Burn Boot Camp Orlando. I started attending the pop-up camps to support him, and ended up getting bit by the Burn Bug! I was reunited with my passion for fitness, and so impressed with everything Burn stood for, I decided I had to go all in! In just 6 months my mentality shifted and I was smiling again, my body completely transformed, I became ACE Personal Training Certified, and I was conditioning for my SAC test with Burn! I was finally LIVING again! 3 months later I was on the floor training and encouraging ladies who were in a similar space that I was in just 6 months prior! I love encouraging, lifting up, and empowering women to be their best! I love playing a roll in helping someone dig past feelings of hopelessness and battle the fears that hold them back! I love more than anything watching my Burn sisters soar higher than they ever thought possible! If you haven't made it out to one of my camps, I'd like to personally invite you to come try it! You've got nothing to lose and everything to gain!
