Summary

Energetic and compassionate fitness and dance instructor with a diverse background in teaching students from as young as two years old to adults. With expertise in performing in Broadway musicals, I bring a unique, high-energy approach to my classes, thinking quickly on my feet and delivering a performance each time I teach. I believe in giving every student a chance to shine, creating an inclusive environment where all feel valued and supported. My teaching style is often described as "infectious" and "sunshine-filled," with a strong work ethic and a natural ability to shift the energy of the room in a positive direction.
Whether working with children or adults, I am committed to fostering a space where everyone feels confident, empowered, and ready to reach their fullest potential.
