Deep River

I began my fitness journey when I was younger, participating in dance and cheerleading. When I stopped those, I knew I wanted to stay active so I started going to the gym and lifting. I started to notice the changes, both physically and more importantly mentally, and my love for fitness grew from there. I received my B.S. in Exercise Science at Seton Hall University and became NCSF Certified in Personal Training. I also recently received my nutrition certification from Precision Nutrition. I am excited to share my passion for fitness and help individuals live, feel, and perform better in all aspects of life!

Hello! I am originally from Haiti, but moved to the United States when I was 8 years old and I have lived in Deep River CT since. In high school I ran track and was a part of the football team from Valley Regional. I’m a huge fan of basketball and football. My favorite teams are the Colts and Lakers! I am also currently working on a degree in business. Being active has always been a big part of my life ever since I was little, but my fitness journey began when I saw how being out of shape was affecting the health of my family. That is when I decided to take my health and fitness serious. My ultimate goal is to help and educate people on the benefits of staying active, and of course to help them achieve their fitness goals the right way. My moto has always been “get better today” because I always want myself and my clients to be better today than they were yesterday.

I began my fitness journey at St. Joseph High School, training for basketball and track during the off-season. Those early experiences sparked my passion for weightlifting and laid the foundation for my commitment to fitness. I’m currently a senior at Southern Connecticut State University, majoring in Criminal Justice, and plan to graduate in summer 2026. I also interned at the Guilford Police Department as part of my path toward a career in law enforcement. Fitness has been an outlet, helping me overcome challenges and grow both physically and mentally. I want to help others begin their own fitness journeys, guiding them toward health goals while showing how fitness can positively impact all aspects of life. I’m committed to continually learning new techniques to better serve others and improve myself.
