I've always loved 2 things in my life: Being active and being by the ocean. I enjoyed a 10 year career as a marine mammal trainer working in Georgia, Florida, Lousianna, Utah, Kenntucky, Bermuda, and Jamaica. I was diagnosed with Osteo-sarcoma in 2011, After 8 months of chemotherapy with a full knee replacement and partial femur I was cancer free and looking at a long road to recovery. I started with Body Flow and then I got into rock climbing. I received my first fitness certification in 2016 as a Les Mills Sh'bam instructor. Then I was certified as a group fitness instructor with SCW. I discovered a love for group fitness instruction and went on to become certified in Barre and with U-Jam. My favorite class to teach is a dancer body workout incorporating cardio dance with strength conditioning using ballet movements.
