Summary

My background in over a decade in professional kitchens has enabled me to think quickly on my feet, dealing with anything from allergies to fires; all while working in a team but being independent. Pivoting to my new role as a Personal Trainer, I've developed great interpersonal skills and can anticipate others' needs personally and professionally, enabling me to put clients first.
