I was born and raised in Romania and have always been very active child and grew up to be a fun adult with a great personality. I married very young and followed my husband to United States when I was only 21. I have been challenged for years to come- new people, new culture, new language, new lifestyle. And as if that was not enough, I gave birth to my first child a year later.

Somehow I survived it all, I never lost my sense of humor and I always knew that life would turn out to be OK if I think positive. And it did... I have a good job, great family, my kids are 10 and 17 and a wonderful husband.

A few years ago I realized that I have a new passion...fitness instruction. I was excited when I discovered Zumba a few years back because dancing and working out had always been an important role in my life. Zumba is a lot of fun and I want to share this experience with everyone. That's what Zumba Instructors do. We teach Zumba classes, but we also touch people. It goes beyond just exercise. Our energy, our personality, our compassion, what we do as instructors is contagious.

I have a great time in my classes, I make every matter.
