- What brought you to NIFS: I was looking for another part-time job and I was brought on as part-time fitness center coverage. I was in Corporate Fitness awhile ago and always enjoyed it. Then a few months later a full-time position opened up and I decided to apply for it.
- What is the most impactful moment you have shared with a member: I can’t think of just one moment but there have a been a few members that never took group fitness classes and I was able to convince them to try the new Kickboxing class and ever since, it has been their favorite class. Love seeing them learn the moves and get better each class.
- What separates a NIFS fitness pro from the rest: We are professional, knowledgeable, and we care about our work and the members. We motivate and develop relationships with the members.
- What is your favorite thing about working at your client site: My favorite thing at my site is instructing Group Fitness Classes. The members here like the classes, they like to be pushed and they truly enjoy taking the classes. And I can tell they appreciate me and the time I spend on preparing my classes.
- What motivates you: At home, seeing my kids grow up and becoming better versions of themselves. At work, the members motivate me. I love socializing with the members, getting to know them, and just having fun with them.
- What is your favorite hobby: Summertime – kayaking and stand up paddle boarding. Winter - skiing.
