My passion with fitness began at a very early age. Cheerleading, running and aerobic exercise were my outlets during my high school years. While continuing throughout college and beyond, I continued with my fitness journey, but actually majored in accounting.  My love for running put me in a few half marathons, but I was never fulfilled.  It wasn't until after I had my first daughter that my personal and professional fitness journey transformed.   

2008 was the year of many changes.  I moved states, became pregnant with my second child, and realized I wanted to be a healthy role model for my children.  While training myself, I realized the need of cross training, and for me (and women) strength based training. I quickly realized that public accounting wasn't my passion, and I wanted to help others.  I wanted to inspire people to meet his / her goals, and make people healthy! I spent 12 years in accounting watching people become unhealthy- and it was time for me to change.  

Over the course of the next three years, I focused on high intensity circuit training, agility work, and weight training.  The results for me were astonishing - so I took my tools and began personal training.  I was certified in 2010 and began working as a personal trainer at Lifetime Fitness (formerly Lifestyle Fitness).   During that time, I began teaching small group, and found my fit:  Group Fitness Instructing!  I resigned from public accounting, put my efforts into my family and health / fitness. 

For the last 14 years, I have been teaching everything from Les Mills BodyPump, Sh'Bam and Combat - to Insanity - and Cycling. I currently am the Studio Manager at Life Time in NC - and teach a variety of classes from UpperRx, HIIT, Cycling, and strength based classes.  Most recently I began coaching our Alpha program - which is a similar format to CrossFit / Olympic Lifting.  

My business FITT2 Training, is my personal training business.  I work locally with individuals needing assistance with program design, and daily workouts both in person and remote.
