A former professional dancer turned theatrical General Manager, I found my way to fitness in New York City, where I taught for fitness brands including Equinox, Reebok, SoulCycle, and Daily Burn. As a Producer and Content Strategist, I’ve produced thousands of workouts, programs, and related content. I also consult with startup brands in the fitness and wellness space, helping them build and scale. As a Certified Menopause Coach Specialist, I’m passionate about helping women navigate the menopause journey with confidence and strength, so they can and make a powerful entrance into their next chapter. No matter what side of the table I'm on, I remain driven by a passion for instilling connection and confidence through the power of movement.
