Mission Statement
Via education and wellness, there is much opportunity for positively affecting the lives of others. My motivation is altruistic, desiring to make a difference to the best of my ability. Mine is a fulfilling profession, whereby one is able to witness changes for the better. People improve not only physically but mentally. Seeing someone gain self-confidence and self-esteem through an improved lifestyle and exercise makes me happy. These changes in individuals also benefit those around them.
Regarding marathons, when one achieves a new PR, finishes a marathon, or loses weight, happiness results from daily effort in exercise and diet, plus learning new behavior that lasts a lifetime. If I can be an instrument in helping others feel better about themselves, I have done my job as a fitness professional, consultant and cheerleader. This is what makes me happy: cooperating with others and using teamwork to achieve what was once thought to be impossible. Breaking down walls and barriers to growth is paramount.
