About Me.
I recently moved to Bend, after 10 great years in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Originally from Portland, Oregon we headed back West to be closer to our family, friends, and the mountains.
After starting a career as an elementary school teacher, with a BS in Education and a Master’s Degree in Curriculum and Instruction from Portland State University, I combined my love of teaching and love of fitness & exercise, and became a Personal Trainer certified through ACE Fitness. What a great and rewarding move! I became certified in several specialties including Pilates, Kettlebells, Bosu, and TRX. Working with clients through life changes, injuries, plateaus, and pandemics is humbling, and provides me with challenges and opportunities that I embrace.
I am looking forward to developing a client base in Bend while connecting with people who share the love of the outdoors, community and fitness. There is no magic bullet to staying fit. Fitness is the practice of balancing our strengths and addressing our weaknesses, so we are ready for that next adventure.
