I have been a health and fitness enthusiast for many years.  I was always an active child using dance and karate as ways to keep myself moving and healthy.  I was a competitive dancer for over 20 years and continued dancing in college as a member of the nationally ranked St. John's University Dance Team.   As I grew older and saw my father working out and lifting weights in our basement, I became intrigued with the world of fitness.  I began working out with weights and trying various group fitness classes.  I loved how I began to feel because of it.  

I then became a personal trainer in 2007 through NASM and began training clients one on one.  I also started teaching group fitness strength classes.  I truly LOVED helping people get fit and actually enjoy it! I never stopped dancing though! As I was training clients and teaching classes, I also became the head coach of the Long Island University C.W. Post Dance Team.  

I was told by a friend in 2010 that with my dance fitness background, I would love teaching Zumba.  I wasn't quite sure what it was, but decided to sign up for the all day workshop.  I WAS HOOKED!  I began teaching Zumba in July 2010 and have loved every second of it.  Since then I have become licensed in all Zumba formats as well as many other fitness formats.  Zumba helped rejuvenate my passion for fitness! I have since then changed careers from a high school Biology teacher, to a full time Fitness Instructor.
