Born and raised on Rincon Indian Reservation until I was 18 years old. Joined the U.S. Army and served as a Military Police Officer for 5 honorable years. Played Defensive End for the Palomar Commits in 2009 and later served as a Firefighter/EMT for Rincon Indian Reservation for 7 years. Coached weightlifting for 2 years at Oak Glen High School until 2020 and I’ve been a Personal Trainer for the past 5 years. Out of all my career choices I truly feel like I have helped more of my community as a Personal Trainer than both the military and fire service combined. Allow me the opportunity to help you reach your fitness goals and start training towards a better and healthier you.
I am a registered nurse who has been working in a hospital setting since 2008. I also work for Arrive Health and Wellness as a registered nurse, providing vitamin therapy and weight loss management. My passion is to promote health and wellness and to help people live as the best versions of themselves. My husband and I have owned Valley Center Fitness since March 2020. I love how, in every aspect of my career, I am helping people achieve optimal health in the community where I grew up and currently live.
