I have always been a very active person.  In school I played different sports and I even was given the opportunity to play field hockey in England and Scotland during my Senior year of High School.  I actually went to school for Travel and Tourism and worked for Rosenbluth Vacations for 12 years. 

When Valhalla Health & Fitness Club opened just a mile away from my house I decided to go and get my cycle certification.  My passion for teaching cycling and making the class exciting and different.  I was able to start teaching a cycle curcuit concept.  This concept has the class moving to the music doing push-ups, tap backs and using hand weights to the tempo of the music.

Then I got my AFAA group exercise certification and then that lead to my Les Mills and BARRE certifications.  I like to try different exercise formats to keep classes fun, fast moving and exciting!
