Where did you grow up? Tell us about your family
I grew up right here in Gilbert… right off Gilbert and Elliot, to be exact! Though I’ve moved around a bit, the East Valley has always been home. I’ve been happily married for 12 years, and together we’re raising three wonderful kids.

Tell us about the events that led up to where you are now.
I spent over 10 years working in accounting before deciding to stay home to focus on raising my children. Even then, I knew I wanted to pursue something fulfilling from home. Health and fitness have always been passions of mine, and through my own journey with macro coaching, I fell in love with the process. This inspired me to become a certified fitness nutrition coach so I could help others on their own paths to wellness. Then I discovered barre3—a workout that brought everything I love about health and wellness together. barre3 offers a balanced approach that feels natural and adaptable, allowing me to listen to my body’s needs each day. The community was a big driving factor in my love for barre3! The friendships I have made will forever be a part of me, and something I can’t imagine living without!

What is your business, how/why did you start your business?
After being a dedicated member at barre3 Chandler for several years, I knew I wanted more, so I took the leap to become an instructor. Soon after, I began managing social media and events for the studios, giving me the opportunity to work closely with our community and collaborate with local businesses. I’m beyond grateful for our studio owner, who dreams big for both the studios and every member of our team. Bringing together my passion for health, fitness, and community has truly been a dream come true.

Given your expertise and the nature of what you do, what advice can you offer to the residents?
My advice is simple: just start—just give it a try! Our team is here to welcome you and help you feel comfortable with fitness, no matter your age or experience level. At barre3, everyone belongs, and we’re ready to support you every step of the way. We always have a fantastic new client offer, that way you can see how barre3 will fit into your life!

What else we should know about you, your family, or your business?
I truly believe fitness is essential—not only for strengthening muscles and building endurance but also for supporting your body’s long-term health and functionality, inside and out. Even if it’s not barre3, find something that makes you feel good! Discover a workout that feels balanced and rewarding from start to finish. Seek out a caring, supportive community where you can build lifelong friendships. Fitness should uplift you, both physically and mentally!
