About Me


First and foremost, I am a mom and a wife.  My husband Mark and I have been married for almost 13 years.  We have 3 sons, Alex, Owen, and Max.  They are the loves of our lives!  The only other girl in my house is Lola, our English Bulldog.  We live in Pennsylvania, in a suburb close to Philadelphia.  
I've been teaching group fitness classes since I was 17!  I'll be 34 in September.  That's a long time!!!  
In 2004, I filmed my first professional step aerobics video, Rock Steady Step, a CIA Video production.  www.ciavideo.com  I then went on to film 3 more videos, The Next Step, Bosu Blast and Straight Up Step.  All 4 can be purchased at www.collagevideo.com 
I teach about 5 to 7 classes a week, sometimes more.  I teach mostly advanced step classes and Body Pump.  I absolutely love what I do!  Who wouldn't want to get paid to exercise?  It really is the greatest job in the world.  
Teaching Group Fitness is my number 1 passion.  Every day brings new challenges; for example... the challenge to inspire another person and the challenge to help someone feel better about themselves.  I love a good challenge!
Anyway, welcome to my YouTube Clips & Choreography Blog.  Here I will post new clips as I film them and I'll post the choreography for them as well.  I'll attempt to post many of my clips that are already on YouTube, but this might take some time.  
Enjoy!!!
