I’ve been certified instructor for Turn Up Dance Fitness since 2022 and Turn Up & Tone since 2023. While I don’t come from a traditionally trained dance background, it was in a Turn Up class that I discovered how powerful movement can be — not just physically, but mentally and emotionally too. It unlocked something in me, and now I get to be living proof that anyone can Turn Up.

I’ve led large group classes, small group sessions, one-on-ones, community events, and even spicy Ladies Night / After Dark experiences. No matter the setting, my mission stays the same: to create a high-energy, empowering space where you can live loudly, evolve unapologetically, and dance ruthlessly. The laughter, the confidence, and the killer moves? Those are just the bonus.

My favorite part of teaching is getting to witness your evolution — from the moment you walk into your first class, to that moment you finally trust yourself enough to let go, stop overthinking, and hit that choreo like you own it. That transformation? It’s magic, and I never take it for granted.

When I’m not in the studio, I’m a full-time nurse, a book lover,  a snack enthusiast, and a firm believer that sparkling water and Andy’s ice cream make the world go round.
