I Graduated from The University of New Mexico with a B.S. in Journalism/Business Communication. While attending UNM, I was a member of The Lobo Track and Field Team. I was a sprinter and a WAC champion. It was my experience as a collegiate athlete that led to my life-long affair with fitness and aerobics. I became certified as a fitness instructor in 1988 with IDEA. I continue to pursue new certifications, most recently Chi Gong and Zumba. Currently I am the Fitness Director at Four Lakes Athletic Club. As the director, I must be able to cover a variety of classes, from Boot Camp to Bikram Yoga. I thrive on the challenge and versatility of our class schedule. I also am a Fitness Consultant at The Grand Geneva Resort and Spa. Many of my class participants are resort guests. I make sure their visit is "Grand" and memorable, just as I do while working for Fitnessprotravel.
