I was born and raised in Victoria B.C. Canada. I got really into dancing in my late teens and through my love of dance also got into fitness. I was certified as a fitness instructor in 2010 and started teaching various strength and bootcamp style classes, as well as Zumba shortly after that. I am currently a PhD student in Montreal, Canada and have continued to teach fitness (including Zumba) throughout my studies as I love to move!
