My fitness journey began at a young age, working at a gym (Sanford Wellness Center)  during my high school years. After graduating from high school, I completed my zumba certification, teaching multiple times a week at the gym and college I attended. I enjoyed incorporating a variety of music and dance styles. My personal favorite was teaching lights out zumba class, using rope lights to create a fun, safe, club like atmosphere. While attending the University of Sioux Falls in South Dakota, I played tennis for the division II school. After receiving my exercise science degree, I was able to teach a variety of classes, working with small group training as well as one-on-one training.  My classes utilize any equipment available, even if it's just your body! When creating a workout for class, I like to integrate a number of pieces of equipment such as TRX bands, resistance bands, dumbbells, bosu balls, medicine balls, battle ropes, and kettlebells. I enjoy working with any clientele, but my most favorite is working with the average joe trying to make a lifestyle change to better their themselves and live a healthier life. I believe that exercise, nutrition, and mental health all work together for the success of the individual and all need to be considered for overall health improvement. My favorite thing about teaching group classes is seeing participants push themselves harder than they normal would if they were working out on their own.
