After receiving the bulk of my education from Norfolk State University (VA), I finished and received my Bachelor’s Degree in Health and Physical Education from Adelphi University (NY) in 2007. The majority of my education from both schools were exercise science-based, in which I learned about the body and how it works. From there, I was intrigued and the passion for health and helping people with their health goals sparked. I became, what you called, a “Health Fanatic”.
After I graduated, I would give friends and family advice on what they can do with their fitness and health journey. A few times I created workout plans and nutrition guides for their health journey. They trusted me because they saw my enthusiasm for fitness and nutrition was strong. Plus, they knew the information I was giving them was “legit” because of the time and effort I gave in studying and researching. From there on, I loved (still love) helping people with their health goals and injuries. Furthermore, my view on food and nutrition on our health is based on the motto that I follow, “Food is medicine”. I believe that most of our medical conditions and ailments can be managed and cured from food and minerals. I WILL NEVER tell a person not to take their prescribed medication but I will give them food items that they could take as well to help with their condition. Food and herbs were our original medication.
I always had the passion for helping people mentally and physically. Seeing people succeed and achieve their goals always brings me joy. I feel honored and grateful knowing that I had a part in their success and achievement and supported them along the way. In 2020, I decided to make a platform and a brand for my passion. So, I pursued my dream and challenged myself to get certified as a Personal Trainer and a Sports Nutritionist from International Sports Science Association (ISSA). When the dust settled, H.I.I.T. YOUR G.O.A.L.S was birthed. Now I have an avenue for the things I love, which are, fitness and helping people with their physical health and overall wellness.
