Having worked in the corporate world for 30 plus years, I was fortunate enough to take early retirement from Hallmark Cards, Inc, and live out my dream of teaching fitness classes as my part time profession. I've been an avid exerciser all of my adult life, and I taught aerobics 30 years ago in the evenings after my day job. Now I have the luxury of teaching during the day at a variety of gyms and community centers. 

My objective as a fitness instructor:

Teaching Zumba, Aqua Zumba, Water Aerobics, and other fitness classes that enable class participants to achieve fitness goals while simultaneously having fun.

Continuously improving my group exercise instruction skills by working, training, and collaborating with others in the fitness industry. Able to cater to any age group with my teaching style.

My goal for every class I teach is for participants to be eager to come in the door to have fun, not "put in their time" and endure an agonizing class.  The fun music I use, and the way I teach accomplishes this goal.  For my Zumba and dance classes, I am able to demonstrate both medium or high impact and low impact moves to let participants suit themselves on the level of exertion.  

I teach "flexercise" exercise in chairs to participants ranging fin age from 50 - 90, and I have a true compassion for helping people with limitations due to aging keep active throughout their life.  

I teach boot camp for a county government office, where the participants earn points for coming to class as a part of  their employer's health bonus perks plan. This involves a wide range of participants in their 20s all the way up to their 60s with fitness levels all over the board.  I am able to tailor the workout to each idividual's needs by using circuit training and having them rotate around the room making use of a variety of equipment (bands, dumb bells, stability balls, medicine balls).

I am naturally upbeat & energetic, positive, and fiitness minded.  I have always been musical, enjoy all types of music & dancing. I am confident in front of a group and as a leader, and I have a true passion for helping all individuals achieve or maintain a healthy fitness level.
