Dance has always been my first love.  I was able to continue my dance studies while attending Hope College in Holland Mi. After college I participated in a modern dance troupe in Logan, UT while my husband was in graduate school. After our move to NYC in 1996 my focus turned to running. Completing the 1999 NYC marathon is still one of my greatest accomplishments. Even after our first child was born I was able to complete 5 ½ marathons before our son was 1.

By 2006, I was the mother of 4 children and fitness was a struggle. I turned to group fitness classes at the Asheville Racquet Club and was again inspired. My specialties include spinning, spin fussion involving weights, ballet fitness and power core. I have recently received my group fitness instruction certification and really enjoy inspiring others on their own personal fitness journeys.
