I initially entered the strength and conditioning field from an academic standpoint, pursuing my PhD at Temple University in Exercise Physiology. After some time in the program and being presented with another opportunity to receive a PhD at Temple Med School, I realized my true calling was outside the world of academia. I decided to finish the program with my Master's degree and endeavor into entrepreneurship by starting a company directed specifically toward female athletes.

Three years later I am successfully running Relentless Athletics, a strength training and sports nutrition company for the female athlete. Through Relentless, we have had the opportunity to work with over 100 athletes (30+ of which are Division 1 Athletes) in both strength training and sports nutrition. The more females we have the opportunity to coach, the more I realize how large of a need there is to educate female athletes (as well as their coaches and parents) on the science behind strength training and nutrition while considering the pressures females experience today.

Too many myths are still being perpetuated that are impeding the ability for female athletes to perform both on and off of the field.

I truly want to change this.

At Relentless, our goal is to create a community of female athletes that are both physically and mentally stronger, more educated, and more confident in their abilities.
