I have been an exercise/sport/fitness enthusiast my whole life.  I've played multiple sports, won many awards throughout HS and College, but wasn't certain I wanted to pursue a career in this field.  After I received my degree and post-bacc. Teaching Credential, and taught 6th grade, I realized I really wanted to teach adults fitness.  After my 2nd child was born, my fitness journey began and just continues to grow.  I teach 5 classes a week now and work on the Management team of a very large resort-style fitness facility in Tualatin, Oregon, called ClubSport.  (We recently were named in Huffington Post and SELF magazine as one of the top 10 fitness clubs in the nation!) 

Serving more than 15,000 members, I've learned so much about Customer Service.  Leading a GF staff of 60+ for more than 4 years, I've learned so much about myself, Human Resources policies, leadership, and have continued to fall in love with Group Fitness...every aspect!  Currently, I'm leading the way in our company, by creating and executing a large 1-day Continuing Education Symposium at our facility, highlighting the strengths, education and experience of our amazing PT and GF staff.  That is happening in September of 2015.  I look forward to the many opportunities that are ahead and would love to share my outgoing personality, my love of fitness, and my experience in many fitness formats with guests of resorts all over the world!
