"ZUMBA® lets me just be me~ doing everything I enjoy. Whether teaching or staying in shape, ~fitness is a life choice~ so it's important to have a great time doing it. I get to lead people through a program of all the music and moves I love, and incorporate my fitness knowledge in a fun and exciting way...I love my job!"

I am known for my high-energy fitness classes which leave you feeling revitalized and ready for anything. I combine more than 15 years experience teaching and performing African, Brazilian, and Caribbean dance, with a passion for music to create a dynamic, unforgettable fitness experience.

I have worked as a DJ, hosted a world music radio show, and toured extensively for 10 years with a theatre dance company, Mortal Coil before pursuing my fitness career. After receiving my Personal training and Health and Fitness Certificate from SFU, I happened to stumble upon ZUMBA® which combines my passions seamlessly.
