My love of group fitness classes started in utero as my mom taught dance aerobics while pregnant. During my own pregnancy I joined Fit4Baby for the exercise but stayed for the community. Since giving birth to my son in June 2019 and then my daughter in August 2021, I have loved participating in Stroller Strides classes as they provided me an opportunity to be outdoors and with my kids while pushing my body in whatever ways it was ready for on any given day. Chatting with other new moms during and after class is such a bonus. I love being an instructor and encouraging other moms to move their bodies while building community as we all navigate the challenges and joys of motherhood together. When I'm not teaching a class or hanging with my kids, I'm a labor & delivery nurse at Medstar Washington Hospital Center.
