A fitness and nutrition coach who knows firsthand how life-changing it can be to find balance, structure, and support on your health journey.

Back in 2015, I walked into a gym for the very first time. I had just moved to a new city, and along with that came a new way of living, one that focused on healthier choices and pushing myself outside my comfort zone. That year lit a spark that grew into a passion for fitness, performance, and helping others transform their lives.

Once I started building confidence in myself and my fitness, I signed up for trail races and obstacle course races. I wanted to test myself both physically and mentally, and it definitely did. Over time, I fell in love with the athlete lifestyle. Fitness shifted from being just a hobby into something bigger: a passion that eventually became my career.

I invested in my education, earning my certification in Sports and Lifestyle Nutrition with Precision Nutrition. I combined what I learned in textbooks with real-life experiences: navigating my own challenges, experimenting with strategies that worked, and learning how to truly connect with people who wanted to feel better, get stronger, and fuel themselves for performance.

What I do …

I work with clients of all ages, in all sports, who are ready to take ownership of their health and goals. Whether it’s personalized nutrition coaching, race-day fueling strategies, or helping women find balance with their hormones while training. My mission is simple: to guide you with clarity, accountability, and encouragement so you don’t have to do it all alone.

Nutrition coaching for everyone:

Runners: Distances from road 5km races to Ultramarathons

Weightlifters and CrossFit athletes 

Team Sports Athletes: Soccer, Football, Volleyball, etc. 

Hybrid Athletes: Those looking to perform at the top level in multiple sports

My nutrition coaching is rooted in science-based education from research and real-life experience. I accept each client as their own individual and coach them from their own time-consuming schedules, nutrition needs and performance goals. There is no “one fits all” approach in a Cards and Carbs program.
