Where are you from?
Evanston, Illinois
Fitness background?
I’ve always liked to play sports and in high school I played lacrosse and I swam. However, I didn’t really get into fitness until right before college. I started trying out a bunch of group fitness classes from spin to hot yoga to HIIT and really got addicted to the natural dopamine and endorphin high that comes with working out. When Kamps showed up my sophomore year, I decided I wanted to take everything that I had learned from taking tons of fitness classes and share that with everyone by becoming an instructor!
Favorite workout day at Kamps?
Leg day. It’s my favorite class to take because it means I don’t have to motivate myself to do it alone. It’s also my favorite day to teach because there are so many possibilities and alterations!
Favorite cheat day meal?
I have an insane sweet tooth so I’ll inhale any dessert, especially cinnamon buns (maybe with some ice cream on top? too much? never…). I actually wrote my big AP English research paper on cinnamon buns too.

Fitness background?
I grew up playing Football, Basketball, and Lacrosse in High School. Then when high school ended all my sports activities came to a screeching halt. I still wanted to be in the fitness and sports world because I love the culture, people, and environment within it. So I started personal training. I love group fitness, because of the energy, hype, and fun you get to have helping a group of people work toward and achieve their fitness goals!

Favorite workout day at Kamps?
My favorite workout is without a doubt, Tuesday Leg Day! I believe that a person is only as strong as his/her core, and true core strength starts with the legs. The muscles of the legs are some of the largest and most powerful in the human body, meaning that they burn the most calories, produce the greatest hormonal response, and can do a lot of fun and exciting crazy [email protected]#!

Pizza Hut Taco Pizza with Chicken and Sour Cream. There is no substitute.
