I have been in the fitness industry for over 12 years. In 2015, I left my job teaching public school music to pursue a full time career in fitness. I teach a variety of formats, but my first and biggest passion is Zumba!  I absolutely love teaching this format because it is like "exercise in disguise."  My students have so much fun in class that they often don't even realize how hard they are working.  And Zumba can be for everyone, regardless of ability level and age (I have a 93 year old who has been taking my class for years right next to the 20 year olds!).  The music, the moves, and the members make this format my absolute favorite!

In addition to Zumba, I have been certified in group fitness through AFAA and have been trained in many more specific programs (listed below).  Given my extensive fitness background, it is a priority of mine to make sure participants are moving in a way that will not cause injury.  I am now a supervisor at a medical fitness facility and oversee the group fitness and personal training programs, so I am quite knowledgeable in the science of exercise.  Combining my love of Zumba and music with my vast knowledge of fitness makes me an excellent instructor who fills classes with 45+ people regularly.
