Bio:

My husband and I recently moved from Michigan to Kansas City to be closer to our daughters who reside here permanently. I have two daughters who live in Kansas City and a son who resides in Alaska. In Michigan, I was a Certified Group Fitness Instructor for over 25 years at the Michigan Athletic Club. Teaching Group Fitness Classes is not a job for me, it’s a fun way to work out and interact with a great group of people. I love my students and the positive energy they bring to class. I have taught various classes for a broad range of participants, including Boot Camp, Power BARRE, Stretch Class, H2O Water Fitness, Les Mills Body Pump, Senior Fit, and Strength & Cardio. I love the healing power and health benefits that come with exercise and movement! Come and take a class with me!

When I am not teaching classes at The J, I am teaching students in the Shawnee Mission School District. In my free time, I like to spend time with my family, explore Kansas City, hike, cycle, walk my dog Baxter, and read interesting books.
