I am so happy to be part of Moms In Motion!! I started my first Moms In Motion running team in 2007. I felt it was necessary to have this team for moms in my community. After having a baby in 2006, I realized the importance of moms to take care of themselves physically, mentally, and emotionally. That is the reason I took a break from MIM until this spring. I have been busy growing my family and taking some time for myself, but ready to get this group started up again.
I am a very busy mom of three children (5, 3, 9 month old). I work as a Group Fitness Administrator for local franchise Motion Fitness as well as a fitness instructor. I am an avid runner who loves to participate in events far and away.
