I grew up in Rochester, NY and moved to South Carolina to start PT school at the University of South Carolina (UofSC) in the fall of 2021. I received a Bachelor's degree in Exercise Science from Syracuse University while playing ice hockey and working as an intern for the Syracuse Football Strength and Conditioning staff. Prior to this, I gained experience working in a private training facility where I coached various athletes and age groups, ranging from middle school to professional athletes, in small group settings. Additionally, I have worked with UofSC's campus recreation department as a personal trainer, helping many individuals achieve their fitness and wellness goals. Throughout my education, I have earned my NSCA Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist certification and I am also a USA Weightlifting Level 1 coach. In my free time, I enjoy rollerblading and playing disc golf at the numerous courses around Columbia.
