Tell us a little bit about yourself.
I grew up in Angola and have been a life long resident of Evans. I am a Lake Shore graduate and currently a proud Lake Shore faculty member. I teach 8th grade math at Lake Shore Middle School. I attended SUNY Fredonia for my Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees. Outside of teaching, I coach swimming and have the full time job of being a mom to two amazing kids who are 7 and 4. I enjoy traveling with my family and going on annual family trips to a warm beach!
Everyone’s fitness journey is unique. What has yours looked like?
I have always been an athlete and involved in exercise. I started working out in high school when I was prepping for swimming championships. I immediately fell in love with exercise and lifting weights. I have allowed my busy life to get in my way at times where I fall off the exercise train and need to get back on; once back on, it always feels great!
What is your best piece of fitness/health advice?
If you fall of the wagon, just get back on and start again; then, challenge yourself.
What is your favorite healthy food?
Cauliflower
What is your favorite guilty, splurge food?
Chocolate
What personally, is your biggest challenge when staying on track to reach your fitness goals?
I truly believe that 90% of success with weight loss and fitness comes from what you eat. It is so hard to sometimes resist certain foods; for me, that is sweet/sugar.
What is your favorite quote/personal mantra?
We all have to start somewhere.
What inspires/motivates you?
Feeling strong keeps me motivated.
Favorite fitness gadget/equipment/book/clothing/etc?
My favorite equipment at the gym is a barbell. I love a barbell class or workout.
What bugs you most in a group fitness class (any teacher pet peeves)?
I don’t really have anything that bothers me while teaching a fitness class, BUT I do like to see people try their best and work hard for the class. It is only 45 minutes; you will be ok at the end of it! 🙂
