I am a Technical Business Analyst for the Federal Government and part time fitness instructor. I am a nature lover, and adore being outdoors. My hobbies include (besides pole), portage camping, hiking, canoeing, fishing, and running. I have run a marathon, 5 half marathons, Tough Mudder, Spartan races, and various others. I’m a mother of 2 and have been doing pole fitness for just over 2 years. When I joined Pole class, I originally thought it would be just another fun fitness class, however it turned out to be the most amazing workouts I have ever done. It’s not just a hobby anymore but a true passion. I not only love how it pushes me physically but mentally as well. There is something to be proud of when you finally get a new move and let go of your hands for the first time, with confidence that your new found strength in your body will hold you.
