ABOUT

While originally hailing from Illinois, I've called the Bradenton/Palmetto/Parrish area of Florida home for the last 26 years. After completing my degree in Early Childhood Education at Illinois State University, I spent the next 15 years teaching in pre-k through second grade classrooms.

My journey into fitness instruction began about 16 years ago when I made the exciting decision to blend my passion for teaching with my love for fitness. 

​

But even closer to my heart are my roles as a mom and wife. My girls are grown  but the memories of navigating the challenges of establishing healthy habits and promoting a nutritious diet and active lifestyle are still vivid in my mind. I understand firsthand the importance of these values, and I'm still in the trenches alongside you. You'll find me advocating for the well-being of families like yours and encouraging your well-rounded approach to health and fitness!
