ABOUT ME

Born and raised in San Francisco, an active family life was a constant in a multicultural city. Drenched in dance until my mid-20s, I committed myself to a healthy path while inspiring others. I jumped into studies in exercise science, anatomy, and physical fitness. I was hooked — big-time.

I earned two ACE* certifications in Group Fitness and Personal Training. Working as an executive assistant by day, I coached nights to build my clientele. To market my services, I started a wellness newsletter called the FitGram. Somehow it landed in government offices in my city. The gram became my first paid writing gig. Referrals grew. Contracts grew.

An international leasing corporation hired me as their personal trainer for their corporate fitness program. Followed by San Francisco State University contracting me to lead their group fitness classes (for faculty). The former contract lasted six years. These two gigs, from top-level organizations, strengthened the value I brought as a personal trainer.  

Since contracts end, I insured myself with a Plan B to catch me if I fell. Still coaching evenings, I took on management of an online fitness accessories store. It was colossal. It entailed website content, product descriptions, and order processing. The daily routine demanded fantastic training that led me into the next decade. Who knew?

Writing web content opened the circle for diverse freelance writing opportunities. Very few writers cover multiple writing styles.
