Dance isn't just fun or a good workout, it is life. For over 25 years, movement has shaped my life. I became a professional ballerina at 13, then at 20 I made the shift to ballroom and latin dance. Dance is how I met my husband and responsible for our three children, two dogs, and this exhausting-hectic-wonderfully-beautiful life we have built together.

When I became a mom I was teaching private dance lessons but I just didn't have the time or motivation to get into shape. I had been physically fit my entire life but now I found myself uncomfortable and self-conscious in an unfamiliar body.

With a new baby, less sleep, and no time I just didn't know what I could do about it. Then I discovered Zumba® and it reignited my passion and gave me my mojo back!

It was the start of a new and exciting journey for me, doing what I loved, staying in shape, and helping others do the same! I got licensed in Zumba® in 2004 and then I started piling on more certifications and licenses, including: Barre, Belly Dance, Drums Alive®, Zumba® Gold, Aqua Zumba®, Zumba® Toning, Zumba® Step, TRX, and my Group Exercise Certification.

I'm still here, I'm still passionate about, not only the power of dance, but also the power of fitness and sharing that with the world! Thank you so much for allowing me to be part of your journey!
