My senior year of high school I started working at the front desk at a fitness center. I heard sobout so many diet fads and I wondered about the truth behind them. So I changed my major in college to nutrition/dietetics. While going to college I got certified to teach group fitness classes through AFAA and started teaching in 2001. I taught senior classes, step classes, cycling classes, pilates, and weight classes.

I graduated college in 2002 with a Bachelor of Science in Dietetics. I went on to complete my Master of Science in 2003. I also became a Registered Dietitian in 2003 and did a portion of my internship at Cooper Clinic in Dallas, TX as well as Duke Diet and Fitness Center in Durham, NC along with other rotations.

After graduating I taught tobacco cessation classes (group and individual counseling) along with Simply Fit for Life nutrition weight managment classes. During this time I was also still teaching group fitness classes.

In 2005 I was hired as a Clinical Dietitian at Saint Mary's Regional Medical Center and also taught group fitness classes on the weekend.

In 2010 I took time off to be with my family as we moved around for a couple of years while my husband was doing some military training.

In 2012 I began teaching group fitness classes again. Most recently I've been teaching silver sneakers MSROM (muscle strength and range of motion), silver sneakers yoga, pilates, powerpump (weights), and cardiopump (weights with cardio) although my absolute favorite is powerpump and cardiopump. I've also been doing nutrition/diet counseling as a Registered Dietitian at the facility. I got my personal training certification this year from AFAA as well.

I love educating people about the truths behind nutrition and how people can still live a normal lifestyle and achieve the results they want. I believe weights are often overlooked especially by women and that they can make so much difference in sculpting the body.
