My passion for fitness and health started as a little girl. I was always involved in sports from third grade all the way to college. I played on the basketball team every year after that until my first year in college on the intramural team, along with being on the tennis and softball teams in high school.

As my interest in health and fitness continued to develop, I went into nursing school for college although overtime knew that there was more out there for me than just becoming a nurse.

As I started to make fitness my career choice, I left nursing school and became a full-time personal trainer at a big corporate gym to continue to pursue my passion to help others in their health.

During this time, it became my dream to one day own my own gym. I left California in 2012, went to Dietetics School at the University of Hawaii at Manoa while working full time at a corporate gym, and graduated in May of 2016.

Soon after moving from California, I met Rich. Little did we know that our dreams would come true and we would become owners of The Mango Tree Fitness and Martial Arts, Hawaii est. in 2016. Life's an awesome adventure! LIVE IT!
