I was NOT an athletic kid growing up. I dabbled in baseball, gymnastics, dance and figure skating but never stuck with any of them. Skip ahead to many years later when I started my fitness journey.

It all began when I found Tone It Up in 2013. I immediately fell in love.

I started following their online workouts and adding in a balanced diet. Through their community I connected with some local girls and started taking a Zumba class a few times a week, again I fell in love. In 2019 I decided to get my Zumba certification so I could start teaching my own classes. Being an introvert, this was a huge step for me as it is WAY out of my comfort zone.

My first class was for a friend at a retirement home, getting the staff moving once a week with a Zumba dance party. I moved on and started teaching at a local gym a couple nights a week too.

Cue 2020 and boom the pandemic hit! As you all know everything was shut down, gyms included. As a way to stay active and get family and friends moving during a very difficult time, I started teaching Zumba classes online for anyone who wanted to join. I absolutely loved that I was making a difference in their lives but wanted to expand my knowledge.

In June 2022 I took an online course and received my Group Fitness Certification. I'm currently teaching at a local gym and online over zoom a few nights a week. I recently launched my own YouTube Channel that offers a variety of on demand workouts ranging from stretching, HIIT, Strength and Tabata. I have really enjoyed meeting so many incredible people and helping them get their bodies moving in a fun and positive way

I honestly never thought this would be something that I would enjoy doing so much, but here I am! 

For those of you that have been following my journey from the start, thank you from the bottom of my heart.

If you are new to finding me, welcome, and thank you for being a part of my journey to living a healthier and more active lifestyle.

Thank you again to everyone for your continued support as I navigate through my passion. I look forward to sweating together and I will see you at the next workout.
