Hyatt Strength + Wellness

I am a trainer who aims to help mold bodies into better-moving machines that expand what’s possible. After working in the recreational boating and marina industry for about 30 years—along with stints in city government and marketing—a conversation with my own personal trainer inspired me to make the leap into fitness as a career. I have been a regular exerciser since age 16 and hold a bachelor’s degree in English from Hartwick College, a Master of Arts in Marine Affairs from the University of Rhode Island, and a NASM CPT certification. Believing in a "use it or lose it" philosophy, my training focuses on giving people the ability to stay in the game of life, whether that means climbing stairs, traveling, or playing with grandchildren.Outside the gym, I live in NW Portland with my husband and two dogs, and I love spending my free time kayaking, hiking, and traveling.
