Despite never teaching a group fitness class, I attended the TRX Suspension Training Course in 2011 and the rest is history. I have been teaching and training in different settings ever since.

After nearly two decades of being a dedicated student, I fulfilled my lifelong dream of becoming a yoga instructor in 2016 by receiving my teaching certification from Black Swan Yoga in Austin, TX.
