I fell in love with exercise and movement after losing 40 lbs in high school. So much so that I decided to study exercise physiology and nutrition in college. Upon graduating, I worked in a few different positions ranging from clinical exercise specialist to fitness facility manager and personal trainer. I also had the opportunity to work as a photographer covering the sport of olympic weightlifting all over the world.

After working for a few years, I moved to New Hampshire to earn a Master’s Degree at UNH in health and recreation policy. In New England I was able to explore my love of movement and nature through hiking, climbing, and surfing. I also began learning a lot about the benefits of moving barefoot during this time. While in New Hampshire I certified as a Foot Nerd through The Foot Collective, and also decided to hike a few mountains and run the Miami Half Marathon barefoot! In 2020 I decided to move back to New Jersey so that I could use my experiences and expertise to help my home community and be close to family. My main objective is to create a framework which can be used to sustainably heal and strengthen the members of communities all over the world.
