Everyone has a unique journey, and I’m sharing mine. It all began at the age of eight when my Aunt from Trinidad visited and introduced me to the 20 Minute Workout, the trendiest online fitness program at the time. I was captivated by our workout sessions, and I knew then that I wanted to pursue a career in fitness.

​

My mother enrolled me in gymnastics, where my natural inclination for running and flipping flourished. Competing in gymnastics throughout high school was a source of pride, as I consistently ranked in the top five. After graduation, I embraced college life, which was a vibrant experience filled with diverse Caribbean backgrounds and stories. We often gathered in the gym, where I was inspired by a girl teaching step classes, prompting me to explore becoming a fitness instructor myself.

I approached the local YMCA, expressed my interest in teaching aerobics, and was offered a volunteer position that included free training. However, my ambitions extended beyond that; I aspired to teach at larger gyms like Family Fitness and Gold's Gym. After overcoming the challenges of mastering aerobics instruction, I achieved my goal, but my ultimate dream was to own my own fitness studio. After two decades in the big box gyms, I finally opened a women’s fitness studio. I relished the journey, but the pandemic forced me to close it as people hesitated to return.

However, I pivoted by taking my fitness brand online, which received a positive response. Now, I’m ready to elevate my brand further, focusing on attracting those who share a love for Soca.
