When I was in high school I soon realized that all of the women on both my moms and dads sides of the family were all overweight.  I realized I was doomed if I didn't change something about my daily life.  I tried many different work outs to which none of them stuck.  Being a musical theatre performer and a music teacher I soon discovered Zumba and my passion grew.  I loved being emersed in the music, dancing, and fun.  I loved seeing women of all shapes and sizes getting together at what didn't seem like a workout class.  I realized then that if I wanted to be in shape the rest of my life I needed to do more Zumba!  

Being a natural born teacher, I have always done better at something if I was teaching somebody else how to do it.  So, I decided that I would make it my goal to eventually become a Zumba instructor.  I started attended as many classes as I could and finally in February 2014 I took my certification course.  I loved it and right then and there I realized that I could make a difference in somebody elses life, not only my own body.  

Being a natural performer, I have learned to "ham it up" and really put on a show.  I believe this aspect is what makes me a unique and inspiring Zumba teacher.
