A dancer since the age of 3, I discovered Pilates at the Westport Ballet Theatre, my home away from home in Kansas City, MO during my teenage years while doing conditioning for dance and again at Stephens College in Columbia, MO where I earned my BFA in Dance Performance. When I became a dance teacher, I knew my dancers would benefit from pilates. I earned my pilates teaching certification in 2019 through Pendleton Pilates in Cincinnati, OH. I then began teaching classes at Pendleton Pilates' location in Liberty Townhip, OH. I continued teaching at that studio after it was purchased and rebranded as Life Force Fitness. In November of 2022 I began teaching at the West Chest Club Pilates, where I continue to teach. I was able to purchase equipment to open a studio in my home in May of 2023. I also continue to teach dance classes to ages 3-18 for Christian Dance Alliance.
