        I have passion with a purpose! My passion is dance, and my purpose is creating healthy lifestyles. I am a lifelong cheerleader. Although I no longer cheer for a football team, my patients and my clients have become “my team”. Cheering others on to see them become successful in reaching their goals is what brings me joy. I am accustomed to working with people of all backgrounds and cultures, and one thing I have learned from this is that regardless of a person’s background, everyone loves a personal cheerleader. I have experience working in both the United States and in Honduras, and I would love the opportunity to gain more experience teaching dance fitness classes internationally. I am currently a Licensed Practical Nurse, but I will graduate in May 2013 as a Registered Nurse. After completing my nursing degree in May, I have big plans to expand upon my fitness career. Teaching is a strength and a joy of mine. I look forward to using that strength more, specifically as a Zumba instructor. Zumba is my passion! As a hip hop dancer who learned salsa after marrying a professional salsa dancer, Zumba is the best of both worlds for me. It combines all the styles of dance that I love, and every class feels like a party! I fell in love with the Latin beats and stylish moves. As a nurse, I see many patients with weight related health problems. In the healthcare field, our biggest aim is to prevent what can be prevented and cure what can be cured. Fortunately, weight problems can be both prevented AND cured! This is why I am so passionate about Zumba. It’s the FUN way to get healthy!
