From as far back as I could remember there has always been animals in my life. It ranges from the basic dogs and cats, all the way to parrots and koi fish. When it comes to my passion with exotic animals, that really developed with my life of traveling. All the exotic places I've visited opened my mind to the variety of different species that I have never heard of. So the dream for me personally is to specialize in a field of exotics, it could be big cats, to primates. My second passion in life belongs to the gym. From the first day I set foot in a weight room, my life was changed. The ability to positively effect my body through pure hard work excited me and when I found out I could help others with their health as well, I knew I had to look into personal training. So I chose NASM to get certified by. Personal training is not the end goal for me, but it is definitely a major milestone in my life.My plans post college graduation would be to intern for an animal sanctuary. To move to another country, something different like Australia, or Africa and working with some sort of exotic animal is the direction I plan to go.
