Ever since I was young, I have had a passion for staying healthy, mentally, spiritually and physically.  Active group fitness classes have always been fun and inspiring to me.  Health & Nutrition books and magazines have always found their way onto my bookshelves and been read and reread by me for years.  In the 20 years that I have been teaching languages, I have always found ways to incorporate health and fitness fun into my lesson plans.  I have taught 4-year-olds and fourth-graders to line dance and high school students to Flamenco dance.  We have studied units on health and nutrition and prepared culinary feasts from several contents for all students to enjoy.  I have always prided myself on spreading the love of language and culture through the connection of music, dance and the culinary variety of different countries.

When I discovered Zumba Fitness, I knew that I had met my ideal workout.  I also knew that I had to become an instructor, not only to join the biggest international dance party, but to share the Zumba enthusiasm with others.  Since I have been participating in the Zumba lifestyle, I have felt better than ever and try to inspire others to "join the party"!

Who knew a working out could be so much fun!
