I have been in the fitness industry for approximately 20 years.  I have a BA from Wake Forest University in sociology and a background in dance.  I have been teaching aerobics (all aspects) since 1994.  I have owned my own fitness center for 11 years and acted as the owner/operator.  I love to teach and motivate others to experience the joy of movement.  I have expanded my own horizons in the last several years to include some mind/body classes such as yoga, pilates, and a combination of the two.  I also love to teach Zumba and spinning.  And I can go back to "old school" with step and Hi-Lo with the best of them!

I visited Punta Cana once and they were talking about leading a Zumba class on the beach.  I said "oh! I love Zumba, I teach it at home"... So they pulled me out there and off I went.  It was so much fun.  And as it turned out, 2 ladies from my hometown were there!!  So I made 2 new friends I'd never met before from home all the way in the Dominican Republic!  What fun!

I love to travel- but still enjoy my work outs, even on vacation~  A co-worker said he teaches through Fitness Professional Travel and suggested I apply.  I am very excited to learn more information about the program and hopefully schedule something soon.
