After being an overweight child and conquering my childhood weight issues by losing 50 pounds the summer before 8th grade, I realized what being fit meant to me and the doors that it opened. I became healthier both physically and mentally. I developed more confidence and a better self image. I started teaching fitness classes in 1997 and absolutely loved it! I continued teaching evening classes and working in sales full-time. I then went back to school to earn my Physical Education certification for grades 5-12. Unfortunately, I live in a state where physical education is not mandated, there are very few teaching postions for PE and these positions are very hard to find. In 2004, I recieved my one and only teaching job at an intermediate school. I absoutely loved it, but the teacher came back from her maternity leave and I was out of a job. I searched for another PE teacher position with no luck. I then decided to further my passion of fitness and received my Personal Training certification from ACE in 2006. Since this time, I have been training clients in small training facilities and in my own studio. I also hold small Pilates classes out of my home, hold neighborhood Boot Camp classes and am currently a Group Fitness Coordinator for LA Fitness.
