She loves motivating others to change their lives with fitness tips, workouts, and healthy recipes. Being a mom of 2 girls, ages 4 and 9, she realizes how difficult it can be to lose weight. She lost an astounding 160 lbs. through diet and exercise. She now loves running and pushing herself to become her best. Now studying to be a personal trainer, she knows she can help others become their very best. Just call her “Motivating Mom”.
