Service Array: Individual Skill Development and Enhancement
I was born and raised in Merrill, WI. I grew up with 3 older brothers and I love camping, hiking, and making new experiences. I played soccer and tennis in high school. Being the youngest of 4, I experienced many up’s and down throughout my childhood. Coming from what looked like a happy, healthy family; I lived through many dysfunctions. This gave me a unique opportunity to understand the toll a child can take from an unstable parent.
Once I turned 18, I applied and got accepted into a nursing program at a local college. While going to school, I went through EMT, CNA, and achieved my NASM Personal Training Certificate. Using fitness as my primary outlet for my anxiety, I quickly found my first passion. I made the decision to follow my passion and I’ve been a personal trainer ever since. Working with many types of individuals, I learned very quickly that mental health struggles are a common occurrence.
In the last year, I have fallen in love with reading, yoga, and spending time with my dogs Bear and Moose. I hope I can be a positive influence and help with the stigma around mental health.
