Hi, Fitness Friends!
I was born and raised in Pittsburgh, PA and a proud mother of two amazing young men! Moving to Florida in the late 90's was the best decision ever, but I do miss my Pittsburgh family and friends.
My first job in Florida was as a Physical Educator and Cross Country Coach for a local elementary school. After teaching PE as an assistant for ten years, I decided it was time to fulfill my dream of becoming a personal trainer.
I have been certified as a Personal Trainer and Group Fitness Instructor since 2009. In 2019 I became Certified as A lifestyle Wellness Coach and a Senior Fitness Specialist.
I was also the first Fitness Columnist for The Seminole Chronicle; a small local newspaper. Though I had no writing experience, I agreed to the position. There was no way I could say no to this amazing opportunity to express myself in hopes of encouraging others to live a healthy lifestyle. I believe my readers found the articles entertaining as well as helpful. Unfortunately, the publication no longer exists...thank goodness I kept a copy of every article written.
In 2011, at the age of 46, I entered my first Masters Bikini Bodybuilding Competition, a dream of mine for decades. Each competition I learned a great deal in regards to training and dieting; improving my physique each time. The best part about competing was making new friends; amazing women who share the same passion as myself. In December of 2017, I qualified nationally as a Masters Over 50 Bikini Competitor. You're never too old to go after your dreams.
I enjoy spending time with family and friends, walking on the beach, working out, painting crafts, prepping meals; always searching for the easiest/quickest recipes.
