Born in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, I was introduced to group fitness as a teen and was immediately hooked! I became a group fitness instructor in college and have never stopped! Throughout moves, additional careers, marriage, children, etc., fitness has been a constant in my life. In addition to group fitness instructor, my various career roles also include being a Television Health & Fitness Reporter and owning my own fitness studio, among other things. While weight-lifting has been a part of my personal workout regiment for years, I become certified as a Personal Trainer in 2016. Currently, I teach a variety of group fitness classes at a local studio (see below) and run my own personal training business in Chicagoland. Young and fit, I bring fun to fitness, and I emphasize a holistic approach. As my children are getting older, I think traveling and teaching fitness at resorts would be a crowning jewel to my career, and I know I can bring experienced, professional and fun fitness experiences to all!
