Wanda Smith

Greetings,

My name is Wanda E. Smith and I am passionate about helping, educating, and inspiring others to have healthier and longer lives. Over the years, I have grown and have just recently discovered or rather accepted what I already knew about my future career. Realizing and becoming my passion, it took watching my family, primarily my father and sister battle heart disease and diabetes. I have lost many family members and know friends to fight against complications and decided that this does not have to be my story. After working in the medical and being everyone's caregiver, I needed to take a career break and explore other opportunities. Well, as I went to work in a major call center for corporate, I found out that there is truly another life I enjoy. I love to dance and while I waited one day for my pink slip as everyone else did, I was diagnosed with High Blood Pressure and that is when I had to make a decision, "What am I going to do now?". Later at home I was watching and informational commercial and saw Zumba Fitness and started researching the internet to learn more and I just became so excited that I was licensed a year later and I have been teaching and doing what I love. I have lowered my blood pressure to normal and I have lost weight and feeling great! My ultimate desire is to travel and teach, teach, teach!

You may be curious about my family and I must say that everyone is stable and doing well. I am often able to encourage my sister to attend Zumba classes with me and in doing so I continue to have fun and share with everyone how they can change their lives. I am so excited because my future is Bright and the mission is GREAT! #newbeginnings  

Thank you for the opportunity!
