I graduated from The University of Iowa with a B.B.A. in Finance.  I proceeded to work as a Financial Analyst for several years at various companies such as Motorola, Siemens and Plexus.  I stopped working after the birth of my second child in September of 2007.  I did the stay-at-home mom thing for a few years and after much thought I finally decided to pursue a career that I had been longing to do for quite a long time...Fitness!!  My children are the loves of my life, so if I am going to take time away from them then I decided it better be for something I am more passionate about.  I LOVE being a Group Exercise Instructor!  When you truly enjoy what you are doing then it does not seem like work!  I enjoy motivating others to get fit and I believe that you are more inspiring and believable to others when they can see your passion!  I am continually striving to learn more about fitness and I view the job of an instructor as a constant work-in-progress!
