I’m a lifelong Pickaway Country resident and graduated from Westfall High School in 2004.

I graduated from Capital University in 2007 with a BA in Criminology and a Music and Social Work minor. Originally, I went into my freshman year majoring in Percussion and Vocal Performance. After my first year, I realized I didn't want to travel the world to perform or be a music teacher so I switched my major to Criminology.

I’ve been married to my farmer husband of 17 years and we have 3 boys who are very active in sports and other activities.

WHAT LED ME TO NOW:

In 2017, I received my Zumba certification and began teaching. In 2018, a friend told me about this fairly new workout called "POUND®" that uses sticks in a group fitness format. Without ever taking a POUND® class, I was certified to teach in April of 2018 and the rest is history. I immediately fell in love and knew this was right up my alley having a percussion background and having a love for music. I quickly began teaching POUND® and eventually was teaching in three different gyms. When COVID then hit and everything shut down, I then turned to Zoom and began teaching virtually. When the warm weather arrived, I then took my classes outside to a park where people could spread out, enjoy the weather, get a sense of community and be around other people, but still be safe, and get a great workout in. From there, my classes took off! I continued to learn and grow, while getting more certifications along the way including my ACE Group Fitness Instructor Certification. In 2020, I auditioned through POUND® to be a "TOUR CREW" member. After a few months, I learned that I made it and was officially a Global POUND® Representative! With this job, I can help spread POUND® love in my community and surrounding communities. I support the brand through consistent embodiment of the brand's core beliefs and mission. I create an opportunity to MAKE NOISE by promoting POUND® everywhere I go - online, in class, at local events and more. Being a TOUR CREW member, I teach and live my life with confidence, passion, and purpose. I serve as an extension of POUND® HQ and act as a role model for the POUND® Posse!  I am honored to represent POUND® by leading Master Classes, attending local events and conventions. I am a spokesperson for POUND®, and represent the POUND® brand as a whole! At the beginning of January 2022, I officially became "Better Together Group Fitness and Nutrition, LLC." I am currently certified to teach 7 different group fitness formats and am studying and prepping to be an ACE Certified Personal Trainer. In January of 2023, a new opportunity arose. This called for a fresh new brand, logo, outlook and location. My new location is at 105 W Main St. in Circleville, Ohio and I am proud to now be "All Angles Fitness."

With the very little free time that I have, I enjoy going camping and visiting county/state fairs we have never been to before with my family. I also love vacationing at Fort Myers Beach and Gatlinburg. I’m a huge animal lover and we live on a farm with 6 dogs, 3 cats and about 90ish chickens, and 2 guinea fowl.

I love traveling to other POUND® Pro friends classes when I can. This always recharges my batteries! Being around other people who do what you do is refreshing!
