I have experience dancing since I was six years old. I began teaching dance in high school, and continued into young adulthood, both with dancing at a studio and teaching dance. After I had my two children, I transitioned to teaching aerobics. I started at 24 Hour Fitness, then began teaching at additional clubs such as LA Fitness, the YMCA, and a local gym called Main Street Gym. I have experience teaching multiple formats from strength training, HIIT, Pilates, yoga, hip hop, dance, SoulBody Restore, and Zumba. I have been teaching Zumba since 2009.
I currently work as a social worker Monday-Thursday and teach fitness on Fridays. I teach Zumba, Gentle Yoga, and SoulBody Restore at the Waxahachie, TX location of the YMCA of Greater Dallas Association.
I received my Yoga Alliance 200 hour certification through YogaFit. I decided not to continue with this certification since it was costly and not required at the YMCA. I have a Group Exercise Certification with AFAA.
