I am a Colorado native. In 2005, I had Bariatric Surgery. Having worked in various different jobs including working with horses, as a physical therapy aid and assisting trainers with personal/group training, my passion for helping others continued to get stronger.  I became a certified Bariatric Support Group Leader (Part of the Rose Hospital/Denver Bariatric Buddy Program), Personal Trainer, Group Fitness Trainer, Nordic Walking Instructor, and more.
 In May of 2017, I became the owner of Adventure Fitness Athletic Club, a great gym in Thornton, Colorado. I enjoy helping people with their individual journey to greater health and well being.

I am passionate about people and helping them achieve their mental and physical goals through fitness. I've been an athlete and fitness fanatic nearly my whole life. In fact, fitness changed my life and has been an incredible tool in helping me grow as a person in many ways. I like to challenge the people in my classes, but also make our time together fun and rewarding.

Fitness and wellness have always played a significant role in my life. They have provided me with wonderful opportunities and allowed me to connect with amazing people. Although I’m newer to yoga, it has already had a tremendous impact on me. I value the opportunity to connect with my body, mind, and heart—each supporting the life I live and the people I share it with. I hope to share these special moments with you in class as we practice yoga together!
