Fitness has always been a big part of my life. Growing up, my mom worked full time and taught exercise classes on the side. I vividly remember putting on her headset at the end of her step aerobics class and talking to her clients, it was something I looked forward to each week. I have always loved being in front of people and bringing individuals together over shared interests.

I was a college cheerleader and after a career-ending knee injury, found myself in on a long road to recovery. I had surgery to repair my MCL and ACL and to remove most of my meniscus. Once I was cleared to exercise again, I was limited to non-impact activities and found my way to barre and indoor cycling. I was so excited when I started to make progress rebuilding the muscle I had lost and wanted to be able to help others find a fitness routine that fit their individual needs. Once I graduated, with degrees in exercise and sport science and journalism, I began my search for teaching opportunities as a side gig.
