About Me: People say I’m a mix of the hip-shaking energy of Shakira and the strong-but-sweet confidence of Carrie Underwood—and I’ll take it! Whether it’s kickboxing, hip-hop dance, or strength training with my own “Dumbbell Bombshell” style, I’m bringing all I’ve got so you finish one step closer to your goals. You may be hollerin’ at me when your muscles are burning, but I’ll just smile and ask for one more rep. To me, it’s simple: Challenge = change. And I want to show you what kind of change is possible.

1. What’s one of the most underrated moves? Dumbbell side dips: Hold a pair of weights at your sides, feet hip-width apart, core engaged, and chest lifted. Slowly lower one weight down the outside of your body; pause, and return to start. Do 10 or so reps on each side. Holy obliques!

2. Train alone or in a group? I’m a group fitness kind of girl—you get accountability, you feed off each other’s energy. But there’s something special about putting on your headphones and zoning out the world when you’re weight lifting. You find out a lot about yourself when it’s just you, the music, and a challenge.

3. Currently on your workout playlist? “Energy” by Drake, “Breakn’ a Sweat” by Skrillex and The Doors, “Mind feat Kai” by Jack U, “Twerk It” by V.I.C., “Just What I Am featuring King Chip” by Kid Cudi.

4. How do you relax when you’re not exercising? When you’re going all-out in your workouts, it’s crucial to carve time to just chill out to keep your body balanced, healthy, and happy. My go-to is listening to classical music on Pandora in a long, hot bubble bath, then putting on my comfiest robe.

5. Advice to newbies? Go into the gym with a confident heart and a smile on your face, and give it your best. Remember, everyone was the new guy at some point!
