I have always been a teacher. After receiving my undergraduate degree and M.Ed, I taught first grade and pre-k for almost 20 years. 

I have always been active. I grew up with a ball and bat in my hands and in addition to baseball, I played tennis, ran hurdles in track, tumbled in gymnastics, and danced ballet. I didn’t take my first group fitness class until I was in my 30’s and already had three kids. After taking my first couple of classes, I was hooked. I was struck by how the exercise didn’t just affect me physically but also had a profound impact on my emotional well-being.

After retiring from the classroom in 2012, I turned to the world of fitness. The connection I form with my members is special to me, and I not only enjoy teaching them the proper way to perform exercises to stay safe and get the most out of them, I want to help them appreciate how fitness can affect their mental health as well.

I strive to make everyone feel welcome in my classes, from first timers to experienced athletes and everyone in between. I believe the key to every workout is to listen to your body on that day, at that time, and make the workout work for you, whether that means modifying some exercises, keeping them low impact, or challenging yourself to lift heavier or jump higher.

We all have a tendency to underestimate ourselves, and I am constantly stressing “you never know what you can do if you don’t try.” I will push you outside your comfort zone to get you to go for one more squat, one more curl, one more rep - that’s where the magic happens! I will be your biggest motivator reminding you “yes, you can!”

When I’m not teaching or working with children, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, walking my two fur-babies, staying active, and relaxing in the sunshine. 

See you on the mat!
