I became a personal trainer 2 years ago after being inspired by my personal trainer. I worked with a trainer and lost weight which inspired me to go into the fitness industry. I got my ACE personal trainer certification and an internship at a gym. Soon the internship turned into a personal training job. I loved it. Working with people to help them achieve their fitness goals is so rewarding. Not long after I was introduced into Zumba. I feel in love with it, because it was so fun. I then decided to get licensed and I now teach a few classes. I also teach a cardio class, and a couple Tabata classes. Teaching Zumba is so much fun. It's a great workout that doesn't make you feel like you are working out. 

I currently work as a personal trainer at Blast fitness, and I teach group classes through Cudahy Park and Recreation. I am also a student at UW-Milwaukee finishing up my BA in Art. I am looking forward to graduating in May and eventually continuing on with a Kinesiology degree. 

I love to waterski, I skied for the Pewaukee Water ski team for 10 years. I also like to run, I have completeed multiple 5k's, 2 half-marathons, 1 duathlon, and 1 triathlon. I can't wait to do more triathlons, because I absolutely love them. One of my goals is to run a full marathon. Another goal I have for myself is to broaden my expierence in teaching group exercise classes, Zumba classes, and personal training. I want to open my own studio or gym at some point. I love being able to help others.
