I am a mother to a little boy and a wife of an incredible man. A "mompreneur" with a passion to succeed in life. I am a native of Colorado, born and raised in Loveland. I ventured to France as a study abroad student for five months during my sophomore year in college at CSU. My experiences in France helped to broaden my perspective of the world and allowed me to taste a piece of the world. I took up martial arts during my junior year to meet new people and learn self defense. What I found was a whole other world. Little did I know that my martial arts journey would introduce me to the world of fitness and martial arts, which would later become my passion in life.
I graduated in 2003 from Colorado State University with a Bachelors of Arts degree majoring in Liberal Arts (European studies) and Anthropology and minoring in French. Although I don't use my college degree today, I cherish the experience and relish in the fact that I do have a college degree. A few months after graduating college, I was given the opportunity to teach martial arts full-time. I earned my 1st degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do in May 2005.
I had met the man of my dreams in June of 2004 and we got married on April 22, 2006 in a beautiful spring wedding surrounded by our family and friends. I naturally had to give up my career and moved to Parker to live with my husband, only to find myself, nine months later, as the head instructor of a school in Denver. I taught Tae Kwon Do and Thai kickboxing in Denver for 2 years then resigned from my job as Head Instructor and General Manager to stay home with our baby.
After a couple months home with our newborn, I was contacted by some former students wanting to continue their martial arts training with me. I knew my love for the martial arts was still there so I decided to start up my own martial arts studio teaching out of our basement. A few months later, I found the opportunity to become a Beachbody Coach. It complimented my passion for fitness and martial arts so well as I enjoy working out and also helping others in accomplishing their goals as well. I am excited to pursue my businesses and each day my drive to succeed pushes me on.
