Qualifications: Certified by AFAA.

Personal History: I grew up playing sports, such as tennis. I cheered and was very active in ballet and jazz through high school. In college, I played varsity tennis and began teaching basic aerobic classes. After college, I rediscovered my love for dance and picked up other techniques, such as kickboxing. When I moved to LA, I didn't have a job, so I figured the best thing to do was to start teaching at health clubs in the city. Oh and my family status is single, single, and single!

Workout Philosophy: Have fun and challenge yourself. It is the easiest way to get out of a fitness rut and you'll never know how great you can be unless you do.

Success Story: I used to teach a dance class on Sunday at 4 pm (not a particularly busy time for gyms). But, a student once said to me, "I don't know what I would do without your class. I look forward to it all week and weekend and it puts me in the best mood for the beginning of my week." The fact that I can inspire others' happiness is the greatest reward of teaching.
