I grew up as a cheerleader and then took up running in college. I fell in love with running. I continued to run, and after getting married and having 2 kids, and giving up my full time job as a systems programmer, I began teaching fitness classes. I found a passion in helping people improve their lives through fitness. I have taught a variety of classes over the years with participants varying in age, and not matter where people are in their fitness journey, they have been an inspiration to me. I have become stronger and faster over the years, even though I have gotten older but it's become of the time I invest into my physical wellbeing. Currently, as an Orangetheory Fitness Coach, I love my job! I work for fun, because I enjoy it and the members that I get to coach on a daily basis.
