About me
Well, there’s nothing much I can say about myself. I am a simple lady who only believes in working hard. I am a triple post graduate by education (MA -ENGLISH, M.ED,MBA), and have been constantly in pursuit of excellence .It gives me immense pleasure to share that I have been referred amongst the best fitness professionals in the country and amongst the fittest moms too. I am a certified fitness professional and an author too. It feels good to be seen as a woman of substance and an inspiration and I always tell everyone never to give up and also, If I can do it then anyone can.
Just believe in yourself and have the faith.
I changed my career from a teacher to a fitness professional almost after more than a decade of working, which I feel was a big step. However, I’m extremely grateful to God that I found my true calling. I’m married and have an 11 year old daughter. My husband is a businessman. ‘Children’ I feel are the biggest blessing in life. Being receptive to change and keenness to work hard and learn are the vital traits that one must have and this keeps you going.
