As an avid fitness enthusiast, I decided to take my passion for working out to the next level. After the birth of my first child, I began teaching the same fitness classes that I had so thoroughly enjoyed taking for several years. With the encouragement and professional mentoring of certified instructors, I was able to effectively teach a wide variety of fitness classes with high energy and focus. During this time, I earned my certification from the International Fitness Association as a group fitness instructor. Even through a cross-country move and the birth of my second child, I continued to teach classes 4 or more days a week because of my love for fitness instruction. I am currently teaching in New York and raising a family.
