From a young girl I have always loved to be physically active. I first pursued my interest in the physical fitness industry by teaching aerobics in my home town of Hazleton P.A. After moving to Allentown in 1993 I furthured my goals by studying Personal Training and becoming a Personal trainer at a private facility. Along the way I've achieved certifications through:

I have achieved the status of Master Level Trainer in Oct 2007 and am presently employed by The Fitness PLaza as an Independent Personal Trainer and their Aerobic Director.

As you can see in my spare time I love the beach in additon to my favorite place in the world, New York City. I also enjoy being at home with my recently married husband and my Wild animals.
