Fitness Instructor
I've been actively involved in the fitness industry since 2019, starting as a coach for a rock climbing team. As I became more comfortable in that role, I expanded my teaching to include strength training. During my college years, I took a further step by obtaining my cycling certification through Stages, which enabled me to teach spin classes at Santa Clara University.
​
The experience was so rewarding that I also taught spin classes at Montecito Heights Health Club during the summer. Embracing a more formal teaching environment, I continued my fitness journey in my sophomore year by securing a position at SPENGA, where I broadened my expertise by instructing spin, strength, and yoga classes.
​
I believe that while the fitness journey can be challenging, it should also be enjoyable. I strive to infuse my classes with enthusiasm and positivity, creating an atmosphere where people can have fun while pushing their limits. My goal is to inspire others to embrace fitness as a lifestyle rather than something to dread. Seeing my students leave with smiles on their faces and a sense of accomplishment truly fuels my passion for teaching.

To connect with my clients and share my class schedule, fitness tips, and at-home workouts, I created an Instagram account. Feel free to check it out—my DMs are always open!

GRiT
I was honored to be chosen as one of only 12 girls in California to serve as an ambassador for the National Interscholastic Cycling Association's GRiT (Girls Riding Together) program. Although the position was unpaid, I embraced the year-long commitment as a unique opportunity to inspire and empower female-identifying students in the world of cycling, especially mountain biking.
​
During my time with GRiT, I organized and led a yoga class for high school girls, sharing how yoga can complement cycling by enhancing strength, balance, and mental focus. I also reached out to several middle schools to broaden awareness about various sports opportunities, challenging the notion that certain sports are exclusively male-dominated.
​
This experience not only deepened my passion for fitness but also reinforced my commitment to promoting a healthy, active lifestyle. Serving as a GRiT ambassador was immensely gratifying and remains one of the most meaningful chapters of my journey in fitness and community empowerment.
Cycling Background
My journey in cycling began when I was just 9 years old, thanks to my dad, who introduced me to mountain biking. What started as a way to bond quickly turned into a passion—I fell in love with the thrill of riding through the mountains, flowing with the trails, and pushing myself on new terrain. Most weekends were spent on two wheels, riding alongside my dad and his friends, who soon became like second fathers to me. As my love for cycling grew, my dad introduced me to road cycling, opening up an entirely new world of scenic routes and breathtaking landscapes.
​
Eager to explore road cycling further, I tried out for a competitive team, but an injury prevented me from racing with them. While this was a setback, it didn’t stop me from riding. I continued cycling recreationally and eventually found a community of like-minded cyclists my age. I also joined a local mountain biking team, where I had the opportunity to race for two years. However, I soon realized that while I loved the sport, my true joy came from the experience of cycling itself rather than the competitive aspect.
​
After stepping away from racing, I combined my love for travel with my passion for cycling, embarking on incredible adventures—riding in the French Alps, tackling the legendary Belgian cobbles, and exploring new landscapes on two wheels. Now, my latest challenge is **track cycling at the velodrome, as I continue to embrace the excitement, freedom, and discovery that cycling brings to my life.
​
Beyond cycling, my passion for fitness has led me to become a certified fitness instructor, where I teach spin, strength training, and yoga. Whether I’m leading a class, exploring new trails, or pushing my limits in a new discipline, my goal is always the same—to share my love for movement and inspire others to find joy in an active lifestyle.
