Fitness has been part of my journey for most of my life. From high school sports and running to my college rec center group fitness and running classes, I have always worked towards a healthy lifestyle. I enjoyed it so much, I decided to pursue a degree in health/fitness. I have a Bachelor’s degree in Exercise and Sports Science with a major focus in Health & Fitness Management and a minor in Business.
In my earlier days after graduation, my work was focused more on the medical aspect of my degree, working in Phase I and II of Cardiac Rehabilitation at Seton Medical Center in Austin. I also worked as a personal trainer part-time. With a move to Corpus Christi Texas, I began teaching fitness classes and continuing to work as a personal trainer, working at the fitness center at Spohn Shoreline Hospital. Off and on for the past 18 years, I have taught many formats of classes including Sculpting, Turbo Kick, Zumba, Core, Aqua, and Senior Citizen classes.
Now working at Core Athletic Club, I enjoy using my background in fitness to teach Barre Pilates to help our members achieve their fitness goals. I run the Lululemon retail program at Core and also use my background and degree in business to coordinate the marketing events and programs for Core Athletic Club. When not at work, you can find me out spending time with my family and friends, or at one of my daughter’s school events/activities.
