Bio:

I have been a Zumba instructor for over 5 years, and I love my role as a group fitness instructor, particularly with teaching Zumba/Cardio Dance formats. As a retired teacher of French; English as a Second Language; and Language Arts in the Blue Valley and Shawnee Mission School Districts, working with diverse populations of students is what I have done for well over 30 years. During retirement, I have continued to substitute teach in both school districts and instruct Zumba classes. I love both!  When I am not teaching in the schools and instructing Zumba Classes, my hobbies are playing the violin and performing in an orchestra in which I have been a member since 1990. I also love spending time with my family and enjoy playing/babysitting my three granddaughters.
