Annora was born and raised in New London, CT. Athletics were not a

natural fit for her growing up; she was more passionate about fried

food & barbies. Through the encouragement of her parents, she

eventually found a home in swimming and competing at the collegiate

level. Swimming gave her confidence and helped her to establish

healthy habits that lead her to the fitness industry. Annora was pulled

towards the aging field after working with older adults early in her

career, who demonstrated that an injury or illness did not have to hold

one back from continuing to live your life and thrive. She has since

helped to open two gyms dedicated to older adults in the greater Los

Angeles area, and has focused her attention on creating accessible

programs to help people live long, healthy and active lives. Annora

received her Master's of Gerontology from the University of Southern

California and holds numerous fitness certifications.
