I live in my home town of Red Wing, MN with my husband and three wonderful children. I found my love for physical fitness while serving 4 years in the United States Marine Corps (2002-2006). After my enlistment, I moved back to Minnesota and went to college to earn a degree in Veterinary Technology at Argosy University. I worked at Blue Sky Animal Hospital while continueing to further my education. I then earned my second degree in Early Childhood Education with emphasis in Child Development and Child and Family Studies. I worked as a nanny for several years and then opened a home daycare in Nowthen, MN. I earned a 2 star rating through the Parent Aware program by incorporating an educational program into my daycare. In 2015, our family moved from Nowthen back to Red Wing, where I grew up. Shortly after our move, I began working at the Red Wing YMCA in their childcare department. After about a year of working at the Y, I was offered a position in the fitness department where I have been working ever since.
