Skills
Accomplishments
My accomplishments show in the success of the Pilates
programs that I have started. For a long period of time,
for the City of Wheatridge, I held 22 classes per week, 7 reformers and a waitlist.
Students have been with me from 10 to 20 years.
I tend to get a strong connection with them. When a student comes in and is excited about an accomplishment that they have achieved due to their Pilates practice with me it makes
me want to work even harder.
