I started teaching group fitness classes at a family owned women's club where I was initially hired to teach dance to children. The owner who was also a certified group fitness instructor thought I would make an excellent step teacher and encouraged me to pursue that with her help. I got my first certification in 1993 with a group called NDEITA.I was thrilled beyond belief. AFAA primary certification followed shortly after and its been no turning back since. After a short stint at our local YMCA,I started teaching for a health club with several facilities in my county.When they decided to teach several BTS programs I got certified in two of the categories and as a long time lover of pilates,got my certification so I could pass the benefits on to my members. When I'm not at the gym,I can be found working as a news director for a local radio group or as part of the worship team at my church.
