My Mission

My mission is to empower individuals to transform their lives through personalized fitness, nutrition, and mindset coaching. Inspired by my own journey, I help clients build confidence, resilience, and strength, creating lasting change that enhances both their physical and mental well-being.

"It never gets easier. You just get BETTER."

Why Train With Me

Training with me means no guesswork or cookie-cutter plans—I do the legwork for you, creating a personalized, holistic approach tailored to your goals and lifestyle. With my guidance and compassionate accountability, you can focus on living your life while building lasting habits that transform your health and confidence.

My go-to workout

A glute-focused leg day that incorporates a mix of functional training, plyometrics, and mobility.

Healthy food I love

All Portuguese cuisine (yum 😋), sweet potatoes, all veggies, protein oats, eggs, avocado, tuna...

Healthy food I hate

I can't think of any food I hate except for hot dogs, but those are definitely not healthy foods. 😅

Favorite workout music

Oh, my workout playlists are VERY random and dependent on my mood, but overall, EDM/house!

What people are most surprised to learn about me

I used to avoid gym class like it was the plague! Now, my clients nickname our sessions "gym class."

Client stories

"Before finding Kickoff, I wasted so much time sitting in my car at the gym trying to google the "best" workout for the day. Now I never fret over workouts - they're sent to me with clear instruction in the Kickoff app. Working with my trainer via text has been such a benefit. Having that accountability was key - I beat my goal by 10 lbs, losing 40 lbs before my wedding day!"
