I graduated from St. Cloud State University in 1997 with a Bachelor’s in Elementary Education. After my college graduation I taught 5th grade in Minneapolis, MN. After 4 years as a teacher there, I chose to move back to my hometown of Middleton, WI and taught 5th grade there for another 4 years. In that time I became a certified Body Pump instructor with Les Mills. I went on to complete certifications in Body Flow, Body Step, and RPM. In 2004 I met my now husband, and we moved to Mahomet, IL, where I currently reside. I have expanded my knowledge and experience by teaching “hybrid” classes, for instance, indoor cycling/ab conditioning, and Yogalates. I currently teach indoor cycling, ab attack, Body Pump and Body Flow. In the past I have taught classes for seniors and have a certification in Healthways Silver Sneakers and Silver Sneakers Yoga.
I also have a Series 6, 63, and 65, and I’m licensed as a Financial Planner by FINRA. I own a financial planning and wellness business. I coach clients to better their finances and health in a holistic way. I love my position as a group exercise instructor and hope to further my experiences through fitness Pro Travel.
