I was born in Austin, Texas and raised in a small lake community, so I have have always had a passion for water and anything that can be done in, on, or around it. I have lived in Aruba and Spain, and I have traveled to Greece, Holland, Jamaica, Venezuela, Las Canarias, but it is where I have NOT been that catches my eye. I have a bachelors degree in International Business. While I was pursuing this degree, I participated in a study abroad program that took me to Sevilla, Spain. It was there that I met the man that would encourage me to learn more about Pilates. So, I did, and ended up entering the Core Connections Teacher Training program in July 2004. I took my certification exam in March 2006, and I was then offered a job at the studio where I work now in addition to the other two clubs.
