Background:

I am a 39 year old mother of four, married to a Naval Reserve F-18 pilot. My children range in age from 18 to 9, and are all very active in sports and school activities. My husband also has an aviation company that specializes in aircraft acquisition and parts distribution. We have enjoyed living in the Dallas/Fort Worth area for the past 8 years.

I have a Master’s Degree in Mental Health Counseling and am working towards a Master’s Degree in Kinesiology. I am the Group Fitness Director for Powerhouse Gym, located in Weatherford, TX. I teach an average of 6 classes a week, in a variety of formats, such as Turbokick, Group Power, Cardio, Strength/Toning, HiLo, Chair, and Ab classes. I am also an adjunct Kinesiology instructor at Weatherford College and teach 3 classes per semester. I thoroughly LOVE both of my jobs and feel very lucky to be in a position that allows me to help people reach their fitness goals and achieve better health.

I have been involved in the fitness industry since I was 19 years old, when I earned my Bachelor of Science Degree in Psychology at North Georgia College and University. I have always been athletic. I participated in Cross Country and Track as a high school student, which naturally segued into teaching group fitness classes. I began teaching weight training classes about 4 years ago in the group fitness environment and thoroughly loved how it toned my physique and made me stronger.

I started competing in NPC Figure Competitions in July of 2007, after a year of adding weight room training to my workout schedule. I had never lifted heavy before, so it was a serious learning experience. I found that coupling heavier weight training with cardiovascular activity can elicit fantastic results when done correctly and consistently. When I began competing, I also had to adjust my food intake and increase my protein intake. What I have found is that safe resistance training, a variety of cardiovascular activity and clean diet CAN yield the results we are all looking for.

My downtime is spent with my family, watching my kids play sports or preparing meals that are healthy. I do enjoy reading fitness articles, petting my two cats and try to spend time each day just sitting still (which I should do more often).
