Summary
Results-driven and extremely passionate wellness professional with over ten years of experience in managing many of Nashville's top multifamily and condo community wellness spaces. My fitness career has been focused on bringing innovation and high quality service to the multifamily space. I was voted top personal trainer by Nashville Scene Magazine for three years in a row for my work in the wellness community. Accolades are amazing, but what sets me apart from others working in this field is my strong leadership skills, lasting client relationships and ability to add value to my partnerships.
