Summary

My professional education is centered in elementary education. After working in the public school system for 13 years, I left my career when my daughter was born. At that point in my life, I wanted to be home with her. Since then, I have combined my passion for fitness and people and now operate a small, local cycling studio. My mission has been to offer fitness options to my local community while collaborating with local businesses to form relationships and support the success of others.

Over time, I have built a team of talented, dynamic instructors that bring my mission and business to life. I have learned what works, and what does not, and have learned to adjust operations accordingly. I have a passion for fitness, people, and community. I truly believe that achievements are greatest when we support each other.

Last year I decided to go back to the school system. I would love to have an opportunity to share my love and passion with students looking to decide their career path.
