What inspired me to teach?
I grew up competitively dancing and continued to do so until age 21. I graduated from the U of S in 2008, and found something was missing in my new “adult’ life. I actually attended one of Kelly’s Zumba classes, fell in love with the style and knew that was going to be my next step for my fitness to continue on. I found Zumba was a nice fit between my dancing background and my newly acquired knowledge from my Kinesiology degree. After entering the world of teaching, my curiosity began to grow and I continued taking more trainings.
