I have been involved in sports and fitness my whole life. In 1995 when I had my son I gave up the business world for the fitness world.  Since I had extensive martial arts experience the transition was pretty smooth.  I was teaching cardio kickboxing classes before it was popular.  When it became the new fitness craze classes were packed.  I added strength and plyo metric classes which were also popular.

In 1998, After I attended a fitness convention I became interested in Pilates.  I liked the classical Pilates method philosophy and it provided the perfect compliment to the hard core classes I had been teaching. After thousands of hours of teaching and training I finally earned my advanced certification from integrated fitness.

Now I am mainly at RWJ still teaching kickboxing; sculpt class; Pilates and CX worx.  I try to keep classes fresh which can sometimes be a challenge because my classes are going on the 7 th year at this gym. I love to teach and the gym members are awesome and inspiring.  

I hope to keep teaching classes for as long as I can.
