Why did you become a Therapist?
I became a therapist to infuse my passion for fitness and health together. To use movement as a tool to help those in pain reclaim their lives and live it to the fullest.
What are you involved in in your community?:
In 2020, I co-founded Project Onyx, a non-profit focused on overcoming the barriers that black and brown teens face in the health and fitness world.
