I have an extensive background in the fitness industry. I became an ACE certified personal trainer in 2010 with additional certifications in designing sports conditioning workouts, hydration, fitness nutrition, sports nutrition for health and performance and sports performance training. I have worked as a personal trainer since 2008 and group fitness instructor for 30 years teaching a variety of classes: boot camps, core, HIIT, step aerobics and sports conditioning. I worked as a high school strength and conditioning coach for 5 years and have trained a number of youth soccer, basketball, volleyball and track teams as well as individual high school and college athletes. I was introduced to Urban Dance Fitness in 2018. It ignited a genuine passion for dance, dance fitness, and choreography and I believe this is absolutely the best form of movement there is. In 2020, I became an official UDF instructor and in 2021, partnered with Nicole Ellis to create Booties, Bellies and Core.
