Vanessa graduated with a B.A. in Exercise Science. She will be certified as a personal trainer through the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM). Vanessa has had some experience working as an Athletic Training student before transitioning to studying full-time in Exercise Science. Injury prevention has always been her priority for any health improvements to start for her clients. Vanessa’s interests expand from Strength and Conditioning through wanting to work with first responders and healthcare workers to be physically active and also bringing in the notion of feeling better mentally and emotionally through physical activity. She will also continue her education by achieving and facilitating a certification as a Tactical Strength and Conditioning Facilitator (TSAC-F) through the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA). Having experience from a healthcare perspective and working from the opposite side of that field, Vanessa aims to fully work with the whole population by creating an environment where exercising and being physically active eventually becomes a lifestyle.
