Jennifer’s Story

 

Jennifer’s athletic journey began early in life, fueled by an innate drive to compete and excel. She thrived in both team and individual sports, ultimately gravitating toward her favorites: soccer, basketball, and track. As an adult, she transitioned into the world of bodybuilding, competing in both the NPC and WBFF federations. In 2018, she earned her Professional status with the WBFF—a testament to her relentless work ethic and dedication. Through sport, Jennifer developed discipline, resilience, respect, and responsibility—qualities that shaped her both personally and professionally. She often reflects that her deepest understanding of the human body came not from textbooks, but from the lived experience of training it.

While in college, Jennifer became the Head Supervising Trainer at Whittier College, where she led strength and conditioning programs for several varsity teams, including football, basketball, baseball, soccer, and lacrosse. Her curiosity about peak performance led her to study sports psychology, biomechanics, and kinesiology. She further deepened her expertise through an internship and directed study in clinical nutrition at Presbyterian Hospital under a registered dietitian. Jennifer graduated at the top of her class with a major in Physical Education (emphasis in nutrition) and a minor in psychology.

Throughout her training career she has acquired the most notable training certifications in the industry, including Olympic Weightlifting, AAFA, IFPA, NASM, and many others. She has also held several impactful roles, including Head Strength Coach for the varsity boys’ track team at Junipero Serra High School, Head Strength Coach for the varsity boys’ lacrosse team at Redondo Union High School, and Functional Movement Specialist with the elite quarterback training company 3DQB Edge. She currently serves as the Head Strength Coach at the renowned boxing gym Sweet Science in Hawthorne, CA. Across all of these roles, she brings a passionate and distinctive perspective to sports performance, driven by a mission to empower athletes through strategic, innovative, and next-level training.

Her extensive experience in athletics has carved out a specialized niche in injury prevention and rehabilitation. Known for facilitating recovery in cases where progress had stalled, Jennifer has become a trusted resource for athletes seeking results when other approaches have failed. This expertise has opened doors to exciting collaborations across the NFL, UFC, MLB, NBA, NHL, Olympic sports, boxing, volleyball, and numerous other professional arenas.

Jennifer owns a private training facility in El Segundo, CA, where she balances her professional career with the deeply personal role of motherhood. Among her most profound influences is her late daughter, Evelyn, who was born with cerebral palsy and passed away at the age of eight in 2018. Through her journey as a mother, caregiver, nurse, respiratory therapist, occupational therapist, and more, Jennifer gained a rare and invaluable education—one that profoundly shaped her perspective and enriched her professional skill set. She continues to expand her knowledge through training in chiropractic care, acupuncture, reflexology, and massage therapy, and integrates therapeutic essential oils as a core element of her holistic practice.

Jennifer leads by example, embodying the discipline and intentionality she expects from her athletes. She views self-care as a strategic priority, not a luxury—committed to sharpening her own physical and mental edge daily. Her philosophy is clear: to lead with strength, you must first master yourself.
