I was born and raised in Sonoma County, a ballerina since the age of
five, dancing with Petaluma School of Ballet and Petaluma City Ballet through
2001. I furthered my knowledge and dance experience at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo.
There I majored in Kinesiology, with a Dance minor, and danced with the Orchesis
Dance Company from 2001 to 2005. My Senior Project was organizing, casting, and
fundraising a dance show of 70 dancers within Cal Poly's student body -- both
shows sold out. I have taught a variety of classes in various styles, from
ballet to hip-hop, for ages two to adult. I am back in Sonoma County and very
excited about Zumba. Dance has always been my passion, therefore this fitness
fusion of dance and physical activity is right up my alley. So ditch the workout
and join the party! You can email me at:

I have been dancing since I was 5 years old. I joined Petaluma School of
Ballet when I was 11 where I became experienced in various styles of
dance. I was a member of Petaluma City Ballet until 1999 and returned as
a member for the 2004/2005 season. I became an official dance teacher of
PSB in 2007 for students of all ages. Incorporating dance into my work
out is a must for me and Zumba is a perfect way to do that. So if you
are looking for something new to bring to your work out come down and
break a sweat while moving to some fun Latin music. You can email me
