My Story
From Taiwan to
Omaha's Weight Room
My fitness journey started on a trip to visit my sister in Taiwan. She introduced me to working out, and when I came back to the U.S., I found a personal training studio and never looked back.
I'll be honest — I was scared to step into a gym as a 40+ Asian American woman. But I wanted a healthy, quality life. So I pushed through. With strength training and dietary changes, like eating more and better than before — I lost body fat while gaining muscle. Today, I have more energy and feel healthier than ever.
"I witnessed how aging can affect quality of life, and I wanted to change that — for myself and for others."
Since 2022, I've served the Asian American community through a nonprofit organization. I've seen firsthand the lack of culturally aware services available to our community. When my father passed away in 2025, it deepened my resolve. I had been trying to get him to the gym, but he never got the chance. His story fuels my mission every day.
To turn that mission into action, I earned my NASM certification at the end of 2025 — giving me a science-based foundation to combine with my years of community work and personal passion for fitness. And I haven't stopped learning since. I completed the Axiom Qualified Trainer Course to sharpen my coaching, and I'm currently earning my Movement Performance Assessment (MPA) certification — training me to read each person's body and build programs that deliver real results while working around pain and injuries.
Axiom featured my certification journey — studying for the NASM exam in my second language, between two kids and three jobs, and passing first time.
