As a teenager, she was a competitive gymnast training 6 days a week, 5 hours a day. Being in peak condition was critical. She has continued along the path of strength training and cardiovascular workouts and eventually parlayed my athleticism into a successful career as a stuntwoman in Los Angeles. Being in great shape, and knowing her muscle strengths and limitations helped her succeed in another fiercely competitive field. Some of the actresses she has doubled are Jessica Biel, Amber Tamblyn, Lauren Holly and Sasha Alexander from NCIS. She has worked on movies such as MIB, Spiderman II, The Italian Job, boxed Hillary Swank in Million Dollar Baby and doubled Amber Tamblyn in the Oscar nominated 127 Hours.
After moving to Orange County, she transitioned from stunt work to training to help adults, kids and elite athletes attain their goals in all areas of fitness.
She offers one-on-one or group training that emphasizes strength, agility, speed, and balance. She can help you reach your goals while working in a fun and safe environment!
