I grew up eating mac 'n cheese, Pop Tarts, Doritos and Dr. Pepper.

Because things like iPhone, XBox, DS, laptop, DirecTV didn't exist, my saving grace was that we were forced to play outside and use our imagination.

Things changed when I went to college and gained the 'Freshman 20'. I knew I had to make a change in my eating and exercise habits. I became intrigued when a co-worker told me she was a fitness instructor.

I started my carrer in the fitness industry back in 1998 when 'aerobics' classes were HOT. I became a certified step aerobics instructor and personal trainer with the Aerobics and Fitness Association of America (AFAA) in June 1998. I am also certified as a YogaFit Level 1 Instructor, Level 1 Certified CrossFit Instructor and certified USA-W Sports Performance Coach.

I absolutely love working with women to help educate them on proper nutrition, balancing family/fitness, and improving their self-esteem. I am a mom to 3 kids ranging in age from 18-5, with another on the way.

I became a Beachbody Coach in order to provide my clients with a new level of assistance. Beachbody is the company that produces exercise videos such as P90X, Insanity, and TurboKick. It also allows me to offer Shakeology to my clients; a powerful, amazing meal replacement shake with thousands of incredible weight-loss success stories.

I, along with my husband Chuck, founded Pacific Personal Training/CrossFit Hillsboro in August 2008. Together, our mission is to improve the health of our community by helping as many people as we can embark on a new wellness program. We work with people from all walks of life: the sedentary desk jockey who has been inactive for years, stay-at-home moms, injured athletes, seniors, teens, etc...

I would love to help make your transformation the next success story!
