MY TEACHING INSPIRATION:
I was in my second year at Villanova and attended my roommate’s aerobic class which she taught to other students and faculty on-site.  She got hurt and asked me to teach.  I remember learning the 32-count quickly and getting the bug to get certified soon thereafter. 

WHAT I LOVE MOST ABOUT TEACHING AT LMHF:
The staff is accommodating, and the members are appreciative.  That keeps me coming back.

SOMETHING YOU MAY BE SURPRISED TO LEARN ABOUT ME:
I have 4 daughters: 21, 20, 18, and 16, speak Spanish, and own a design firm.

I also run a charity fund raiser for an orphanage in Honduras. We raise funds for abandoned, abused, homeless children in a town named Macuelizo, Honduras.  I’ve been involved with this organization for 15 years and have actually seen the kids grow up, learn skills like English, go to college, and give back themselves.  

I love the pop-up classes at LMHF and the community surrounding everything they do there. It’s large enough to always get a class or piece of equipment but not too big where you could lose the sense of service. Everyone knows your name and that’s not easy to do.
