I fell in love with Zumba Fitness about 13 years ago and began teaching classes 8 years ago after the birth of my last child as a way to get back in shape. I am licensed to teach Zumba Basic, Toning, Gold, Step, Aqua, Sentao, Kids and Strong by Zumba. Additionally I am certified in Barre, Group Exercise, and BLS.
