About Me

“I started working out at the age of 18, shortly after moving to Australia, with the simple goal of losing weight and finding a new hobby to stay active.

What began as a personal fitness journey quickly turned into a deep passion for health, movement, and self-improvement.

For years, I pursued a career in accounting, following a traditional path of stability and structure. But as time went on, I realised my true fulfilment didn’t come from numbers or spreadsheets — it came from helping people transform their lives through fitness. Making the decision to shift from accounting to becoming a personal trainer was one of the biggest and most rewarding choices I’ve ever made.

Today, as a PT, I’m driven by the desire to help others achieve their goals — whether they’re just starting their journey or striving to reach the next level. I take pride in delivering the best possible results for each client, no matter where they come from or what stage they’re at. My mission is simple: to inspire, support, and push people to become the best version of themselves.
