I grew up in the small town of Myrtle Point Oregon, then traveled to New Zealand to back pack the country. After coming home I went to Tempe, Arizona and earned an Associates Degree in Legal Studies.  My boyfriend and I both moved back to Oregon to get married on my fathers sheep and cattle ranch in Myrtle Point, I worked for him on the farm for a couple years then moved to Roseburg to get a Legal Assistant job.  I have always been a very active person, but it wasn't until after I had my daughter in 2009 that I tried Zumba and loved it!!!  Fitness is my passion, I am currently a stay-at-home mom and part-time, self-employed Zumba Fitness Instructor. I teach four evening classes per week to a group of students ages 12 to 75.  I often teach ZumbAtomic to the kids at our elementary school here in Myrtle Point and Coquille as well.  I also taught ZumbAtomic at  a non-profit dance studio for a year in Coquille, Oregon.  A family friend and business owner asked me in 2011 to help start Zumba classes in Gold Beach, Oregon at their gym.  I helped with the design and lighting of the group fitness room.  When the room was finished I started teaching Zumba Fitness classes in the new "disco" room!  I only got them started, I taught about twice per month because I still had all my classes here in Coquille and Myrtle Point.  The Myrtle Point Dance Team needed a little help with coaching as well so I volunteer quite a bit, helping them with dancing.  I also helped the High School Show Choir once before a show with Latin dance moves. Helping people reach their health and fitness goals is very rewarding! :)
