Bio:

I love Latin music and have been certified in Zumba fitness since 2007. I am  certified in Zumba Gold, Zumba Toning, and two other dance fitness programs but anything Zumba is my favorite! I was a Spanish major at Kansas State University where good friends from Puerto Rico taught me some salsa dance steps. I loved the rhythm of the music and the style of the steps and was hooked. After graduation, I taught Spanish for five years and did/do tutoring for many years. My most important career was being a full-time mom. Nonetheless, Zumba has been a great way to exercise, be creative, and build community. I also enjoy hiking, walking our dogs, reading, being at the lake, and in the mountains, and hanging out with family and friends.
