I have been a Zumba instructor since 2014 and am licensed to teach both Zumba and Zumba Gold. Zumba is a Latin-inspired, dance fitness class using rhythms such as salsa, merengue, cumbia, reggaeton, flamenco, etc. It is designed to be easy to follow, effective, and fun! Zumba

Gold offers Zumba at a lower intensity with the same fun for any age, particularly the active older adults, beginners, and anyone needing modifications.

In 2009, I wanted to get back into shape after having my third child. I joined a local Zumba class because I was curious, and it was a fairly new fitness option. I really enjoyed the music, the moves, the energy, and I got a great workout. I transitioned from student to instructor in 2014 and have truly enjoyed watching the smiles & joy of my students ever since.

I have lived in Salida, Colorado since April 2000 with my husband and three children. I also work as a part time pharmacist at the local hospital.
