I am a certified Pilates instructor who trained in Chicago and completed my comprehensive Pilates certification with Core Pilates NYC's teacher training program early in 2011. I grew up in Salt Lake City, UT and received a BA in Business Administration from the University of San Diego. Shortly after graduating from USD, I moved to Chicago to pursue a career in finance. After seven years of investment banking and equity research experience, I decided it was time for a change and turned my love of Pilates and fitness into a career.

I have always been very active, and immediately fell in love with the way Pilates challenged my mind, body and enhanced other fitness pursuits. I have been practicing Pilates since 2006, and look forward to sharing my knowledge and love of Pilates with clients. I have a special interest in working with pre and post natal clients. My in depth knowledge of how the body changes, and first hand experience with how helpful Pilates can be for a healthy pregnancy and delivery helps me guide clients through a safe and effective workout. A fitness studio enthusiast myself, I love incorporating other forms of exercise into my Pilates teaching. Don’t be surprised to use a Bosu, TRX or HIIT at your private session. I keep things interesting and creative, so clients are constantly challenged and excited by my workouts. 

I am always seeking out the latest training to deepen my knowledge of both Pilates and fitness. I am a certified pre and post natal fitness specialist, have attended specialized pelvic floor workshops, and have trained with many master instructors.
