Biography

Being born into a family that was health and fitness conscious, I was raised understanding and valuing the importance of nutrition and exercise at a very young age.  From playing street hockey with my older brother in the neighbourhood, to soccer, dance,running, yoga and weight training, I was always up to something and expelling energy somehow.

It was an obvious choice to turn my passion for training into my job and I became a personal trainer.  I got certified in 2007 and have been educating myself and mentoring under some of the best trainers/athletes ever since.  Since my brother, John Alessio, is a big name in the world of MMA, I have had the luxury of training with amazing athletes around the world.  I never take any opportunity to learn more for granted.

A good friend of mine, that I often trained with, talked me into meeting his pro trainer,Kosta Kromidas,who then inspired me to compete. I placed 2nd in my first show in 2010 and I am now pursuing my pro card.  Competing is a major love in my life and I am addicted to the challenge.  My experience in competing now has me wanting to specialize in contest prep and transformations.

I was first introduced to Magnum Nutraceutical at a supplement store I was working at and became an instant fan!  I am so proud and honored to be part of Team Magnum. THANK YOU!
