Fitness & Wellness
I currently serve on the Board of Directors for the International Association of Trans Bodybuilders and Powerlifters (IATBP),with my focus on Research, Finance, and Development. My goal as part of the board is to centralize research and learning as key components to the IATBP that document the lived experiences of trans* bodies and elevate the crucial work of our organization.

After fitness and wellness coaching, group fitness instructing, and personal training for 7 years at multiple institutions, including my small business B.Authen.Fit, Penn State Campus Recreation, and St. George’s University Fitness and Wellness Center, with 100+ clients, I now focus on the researching how we use the body as a site of learning. I particularly focus on trans* people and how we use the sport as a site of learning more about our gender and sexual identity. I construe fitness and wellness, specifically recreational bodybuilding, as a form of empowerment and expression.
