I have extensive background in fitness, starting with a BFA in Dance from the University of Michigan. I have over 10 years of experience in the fitness industry, including group exercise at the University of CO, Boulder and personal training in Los Alamitos, CA at 24 Hour Fitness. I am now building my own client base here in southern California. I am certified by the American Council on Exercise and hold liability insurance. I integrate many aspects of fitness in my training practice, depending on client needs, and I can work with all age groups.My other area of expertise is in English as I am a former English teacher. I attended the University of CO, the University of Northern CO, and Andrews University. I have been working on my own writing projects since I left the field for personal reasons. I prefer to work privately rather than deal with the mess in our public schools. I have taught in public and private schools and then began tutoring in California. I have also worked with pre-school age children. I tune into individual needs and then design a plan that specifically addresses these needs. My focus is on all aspects of writing, and I inject creativity into my lesson plans.
