As a fitness enthusiast and someone that participated in group fitness classes regularly, I made a life changing decision and decided that instead of just being a student, I wanted to become a fitness instructor. In 2007, I became certified to teach Spinning and started teaching classes soon after. It gave me such a joy that my classes were filling up week after week so I then decided to start teaching other classes at the gym including kickboxing and Latin Impact. My classes are always so much fun to teach because I have great students!! Its so rewarding to make an impact on other's lives, which is why I continue to teach and have the energy to teach 8 classes a week, while working full time during the day.

In addition to teaching fitness, I also have a dance background. I am a salsa dance instructor. As a fitness instructor and latin dancer, once I found out about the Zumba program and that I could become licensed to teach Zumba, I got licensed to teach right away and began teaching Zumba classes. I love the Zumba program and I am so happy that Zumba has become so popular. What is great about Zumba is that ordinary women (and men) that normally wouldn't work out or do any types of exercise are now taking Zumba classes. I have had many success stories of ladies that have taken my class and have improved their health significantly. Nothing makes me happier than knowing that I make a difference in other lives.

My classes are full of energy. I try to make them as fun as possible and make everyone feel comfortable. I would love to travel and teach classes all over the world! I have already been fortunate to have the opportunity to teach Zumba at a resort in Riviera Maya. I am looking forward to more opportunities to gives others ability to make them selves healthier and have fun while they're doing it!!!
