I have always been a fitness enthusiast. I am a prior US Army Officer and have always been involved in fitness and/or aerobic training, to include kickboxing, Taebo, weight training, and various aerobics classes. I started taking Zumba classes in Jan. 2010 and loved it! I enjoyed it so much, my instructor convinced me to become certified. I initially thought I was going to be a sub and not teach my own classes, but in January 2011 I had the opportunity to teach a class at a local high school and I have been teaching every since. I absolutely love the energy and thrill of having fun while working out. Dancing has always been a passion for me, so teaching Zumba is not even a task for me. I am a high school geometry teacher and minister. Teaching Zumba and having fun with my class is such a fun way to maintain good health and exerting lots of energy. I would love to travel during my summer breaks and teach Zumba!
