My professional career spanned 20+ years in the publishing field; managing a weekly community newspaper, The Two River Times. Following that, I decided to further my education in fitness, a lifelong passion. Fitness has been the foundation of my life & health. My background is not only based in dance, but I have years of experience teaching yoga and fitness-based classes. While managing a Pilates Studio in Red Bank, New Jersey, I attained certifications in Personal Training and BodyArt®. Upon moving to Ocean County, New Jersey, I became Director of Operations for Tilton Fitness. In 2020, the untimely, permanent closing of my employer, lead me back to my own Yoga practice, and a RYS 200 Yoga Alliance® Certification. In 2023, I added an ASFA® Water Aerobic Certification. Living near the sea, I also enjoy paddle boarding and kayaking.
