Founder/Owner
Personal: I grew up playing all kinds of sports - softball, basketball, volleyball, etc. - before making my high school's swim team my sophomore year. I wasn't the best athlete but always tried my best. It wasn't until I graduated high school that I started taking fitness seriously . . . the same time I caught the triathlon bug. I've gone from not being able to run a mile to running marathons and completed my first half-Ironman in 2022. I've now been participating in triathlons for 14 years and counting. However, I've never forgotten my chapter 1 and how far I've come. Professional: I started off my career in the health and fitness industry as a lifeguard and swim instructor; I coached multiple adults to completing their first triathlon and even coached youth swim teams. I joined the Army Reserves to help pay for my education and was trained to by an LPN, but my passion remained in helping people enjoying healthy, active lifestyles. I started working as a personal trainer while studying at Lenoir-Rhyne University and found immense joy in helping those just starting their journey. As an athletic trainer, I've worked at all three NCAA divisions and specialize in injury prevention measures for college student-athletes. I started Tenacious Fitness as a way to continue to help others begin their fitness journey and take the guesswork out of where to start. I remember the first time I walked into the gym and being overwhelmed, not knowing what to do or where to begin. I wanted to make my knowledge available to anyone who wanted it, regardless of where they are both physically and in their journey. I also wanted to help my fellow Service Members perform better at their job while also reducing the risk of injury. Education: BS in Health and Human Performance from University of Memphis MS in Athletic Training from Lenoir-Rhyne University MS in Sport Psychology from Capella University Licensed Practical Nurse (multi-state license) Licensed Athletic Trainer (TN and NC)

Frequently Asked Questions
Why "Tenacious"?
Merriam-Webster defines "tenacious" as "persistent in maintaining, adhering to, or seeking something valued or desired." Fitness is a lifelong pursuit with ever changing goals and must be maintained.
Why hire an online coach?
I take all the guesswork out for you in terms of exercise programming and offer the ability to train on your own schedule instead of someone else's and where you feel comfortable. With weekly check-ins, I'm sure you'll find that you're getting your money's worth for a fraction of the cost.
