Teaching experience:
This is my third year teaching Zumba®. Prior to teaching I was a dedicated student for two in my mentors Zumba® classes.
Inspiration to teach in the fitness industry:
My fitness path began in Junior High School when I began swimming with my local swim club West Coast Aquatics. When I entered High School I swam and dove for both the swim club and my school. After graduation I went onto college and swam for one year got married had babies and finally stumbled back onto my fitness path 5 years ago. I lost 74 pounds with Zumba and Personal Training, I wants to help other people accomplish their fitness goals, while making it fun and enjoyable.
Something you would never guess about me:I love Spartan Races, for the past two years I could only compete in the shortest race due to an old injury, but this year I am planning on earning my trifecta medal by participating in a Sprint 3.5 miles with obstacles, a Super 8 miles with obstacles and finally the Beast 13 miles and 27 obstacles. I have been training since November for this race season, I am very excited!!!
