I am an AFAA-certified Group Fitness Instructor and certified in CPR, AED, and First Aid. I hold licenses in Zumba, Zumba Gold, Aqua Zumba, Zumba Toning, and Zumba Kids. My fitness journey began with the YMCA of Dallas, and I have been teaching Zumba since 2008. What started as a passion quickly became my specialty and purpose. Since 2014, I have been proud to both live in and teach Zumba in the Avalon Park community, building lasting connections through fitness and fun. Over the years, I’ve had the incredible opportunity to be featured in Austin Fit Magazine and Zumba Life Magazine (three times), perform during a Dallas Mavericks halftime show, and dance at AT&T Stadium, home of the Dallas Cowboys. In 2013, I was also featured on the show So You Think You Can Dance, where my National Dance Day Zumba video was highlighted. While I love the energy, music, and party atmosphere of Zumba, what truly inspires me are the people in my classes—my Zumba family. I am grateful every day to play even a small role in their fitness journeys. There is nothing more rewarding than hearing how Zumba positively impacts someone’s mind, body, and spirit. When you walk into my class, you’re not just taking a workout—you’re joining a supportive, uplifting community. Zumba truly is for everyone. Outside of class, I enjoy spending time with my family. I am a proud wife, mom, and longtime Avalon Park resident.
