I was born in New Orleans, Louisiana, but moved to North Carolina as a toddler. I have lived in Raleigh for more than 20 years and consider myself fortunate to call it home.
I have changed career paths a couple of times in my life and believe I have found my passion in the fitness industry. The following illustrates my educational experience:
1992-1996 East Carolina University-BA in psychology
1998-2000 East Carolina University-worked toward my MA in school psychology. Completed all requirements except for a thesis and internship.
After becoming a stay at home mom, I decided to plunge into the fitness world by first joining a gym and then becoming certified as an instructor. I currently have the following certifications:
AFAA- primary group fitness
AFAA- personal training
Turbo Kick- kickboxing
I absolutely love what I do and strive to bring a positive energy and outlook toward exercise to all participants I come in contact with.
