Lake Bluff

I was born and raised in Waukegan, Illinois. My parents were both born in Mexico so up to this day I visit Mexico quite often. I attended CRSM College Prep where I participated in cheerleading and soccer. I then continued my education at College of the Holy Cross in Massachusetts where I also took part in cheerleading. After graduating in May 2023, I came back to Illinois and joined Anytime Fitness that summer. I started attending the gym/working out in high school and continued to do so throughout college up until now. I’ve been trying to keep up with a consistent workout schedule but there is definitely a lot that I have yet to learn!

Here from Colombia! I grew up in the capital, Bogota. While In Colombia, I attained my bachelor's degree in teaching (English, French and Spanish) and worked as a second-language teacher with kids, teenagers and adults; at the same time, I also worked in a private fitness studio as a supervisor. In 2019, I made the life-changing decision to travel to the U.S. through the Au Pair program and worked with families in Lake Forest and Lake Bluff for several years while also attaining an “English as a Second Language” certification at Midwestern Career College in Chicago. In 2020 I joined Anytime Fitness Lake Bluff as a Member and have since found my passion in fitness and nutrition.

Raised in the southwest suburb of Orland Park alongside three sisters and one brother, I became passionate about the sport of lacrosse and developed a strong interest in the health sciences during high school. My interest in health led me to attain a Bachelor of Science in Molecular & Cellular Biology at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, licensure as an E.M.T., a Master Of Science in Physiology at Loyola University Chicago, and 2 1/2 years of study at Saint Louis University School of Medicine. My passion for lacrosse evolved into a fascination with fitness and my mission is to use my knowledge to help others improve their health & wellness!
