After high school, I began teaching dance in studio to kiddos ages two to 17 years old. I taught hip-hop, poms, ballet and tap at various levels for five years. I also attended Metropolitan State University of Denver while teaching, and graduated with my Bachelors Degree in Human Performance and Sport with Concentration in K-12 Physical Education in December 2017. I began teaching K-8 Physical Education in January of 2018, and continued to teach for seven years at two different K-8 schools in APS. I also continued to coach competitive dance at the high school level, and went back to coaching the showcase team at my previous studio until 2020. In 2025, I decided it was time for something new, and got my Zumba Basic 1, Zumba Kids, and Zumba Kids Jr. certifications and began teaching Zumba to kiddos and adults. Zumba stole my heart, giving me the freedom to still teach dance, fitness, and creative movement with my own flair, on my own terms. I got my Group Fitness Instructor certification through AFAA in July 2026, and through a combination of obtaining this certification and teaching Zumba, realized my true passion is teaching rhythmic group fitness to all ages.

I am currently living my best life with my support system-my mama (who encouraged me to get my Zumba certification and shared her love of dance with me throughout my life), my soul dog, Liza Mae, and my wonderful family and friends who encourage me to continue chasing my dreams. I love pink, dogs, dancing, running, the number 8, and anything that allows me to express myself creatively. My eventual goal is to open my own studio and continue to expand my craft and brand. My mission is to share my love of music and movement with others in an engaging, safe, inclusive, and progressive environment that makes you forget you're even exercising. Rhythm and dance aren't about being the best, they're about allowing the music and movement to help you FEEL your best-whatever that means to YOU.
