I have always had a lifelong passion for movement and fitness. Growing up in Florida outdoor activities and water sports were my thing. I moved to NYC to study Dance, receiving a BFA in Dance Performance from SUNY Purchase, then making the move to NYC to pursue a career in my chosen field. My interest in fitness never wavered and I received a pilates certification and began teaching classes. I also started working/training at Barry's Bootcamp where my love for running and weight lifting took off. I am a proud Half Marathoner (as they say only HALF-crazy) and obstacle race enthusiast. I am interested in making my way to a full marathon and a half ironman in the near future. Running brings me a sense of calm and a chance to be away from the day-to -day -- plan for a form-focused, quality-over-quanity, high intensity class with a steady flow of jokes.
