What I’m passionate about… Travel

Solo travel, as daunting as it can be, has led me to some amazing places and experiences. I’m currently traveling around Mexico.. finally got to see my amazing stores in person. eating the most incredible food and trying my best to speak Spanish.

Health and Wellness… Dance with me

Growing up as a dancer, dance, and movement have always been a part of me. Moving to New York City, I fell in love with a great class, 305 Fitness, combining dance and strength training with a live DJ. A place where you’re empowered to be your authentic self, a place of belonging, a community… a dream come true! So, I got certified as a 305 fitness instructor. Now I get to bring JOY to others like 305 brought to me.

“Today we talked about leaders who impacted us and I used you as an example. I said that you were the type of leader that always lifted me up when I needed it and then held me accountable when I deserved it. You always showed a united front in front of others and then quietly pulled me aside to give me coaching, which I’ve always appreciated.

You are the type of person that makes me feel like I’m capable of anything and if someone tells me no, there’s always another way for me to get what I’m looking for and what I need from others that doesn’t leave a bad taste in people’s mouths.

You have left a lasting impression on me and helped me so much in my life and career and continued beyond the time we worked together. Forever grateful. Thank you.”
