I have been excited about fitness since leg warmers were cool! I became interested in instruction fitness when I moved to a small town and there was a need for volunteers to help support a class. I later felt the strong desire to back up my passion with knowledge, so I certified with AFAA in 1998. My focus was Hi/Low aerobics and Step, but my desire for more grew from there. I decided to get my Personal Training license through Fitour. I started working for the YMCA of Twin Falls, Idaho in 2006, first as an instructor and then as the Group Fitness Director. I designed, hired, and participated in a very successful group fitness program! In 2008, I license with Zumba and rediscover a whole new love of FUN group classes!!! I am currently license to teach Zumba, Zumba Gold, Zumba Toning, Zumbatomic, and Zumba Sentao. I am a fun, energetic, knowledgeable, and I love helping people feel successful in the fitness world! I have been married almost 27 years and I have 4 children, and my first grandchild on the way! I am very dependable, loyal, assertive, and creative. When I started in the fitness industry I had one goal, which was to never teach the same class twice. I felt very strong about keeping people from being board, or stagnant. I can say in the 18 years of teaching I have done just that and my specialty is making people smile!
