Hometown: New York City

How long have you lived in Southern California? 17 years. 6 years in San Diego and now 11 years in Laguna Niguel.

Tell us about your family: I have a 10 year old daughter who is full of energy and extremely creative and a 9 year old son who loves to play soccer.

What did you want to be “when you grow up”? I've always wanted to write and publish a childrens book.

What is the furthest you have been away from home? Rio De Janeiro, Brazil

What is your favorite thing to do? I love spending time with my kids. Whether it is traveling to visit family, going on hikes and the beach, theme parks or just having a movie night I love my time with them. They are very fun kids and always down for an adventure.

What is something about you that someone may not know? I love rap/hip hop music. I have always loved music since I was a kid and considering 90s/00's rap was the high point for that musical genre it has just stuck with me into adulthood. I just think when you hear rap music coming from my minivan it might be a bit surprising to people. LOL!

What is your favorite local restaurant to eat at? What is your go to order? I love Thai Bite. I think I get the pad gra prow with tofu every time!

What is the best thing about living in Orange County? Orange County has beautiful beaches and trails to hike. It is a great place to be if you like the outdoors. You also can't beat the proximity to Disneyland!

What is your favorite color? Red.

What is your favorite song or artist? I'm sure this is not popular opinion but I am a big Kanye West fan. Not the person but I love his music.

What TV shows are you currently watching? I don't watch a ton of TV but I will usually put old Sex in the City episodes on when I have time to sit down and relax for a bit.

Tell us something about yourself that would surprise us: I was a member of Fit4Mom South OC when my children were small. I started when my 10 year old daughter was just 6 weeks old and was part of the Fit4Mom community for years. I went to Stroller Strides class everyday and also did a session of Body Well. I feel so fortunate to have found Fit4Mom after having my first child and I am actually still friends with some moms that I met there over 10 years ago!

If someone had to describe you in one word, what would it be and why? Loyal.

How did you find FIT4MOM South OC? I found it 11 years ago when I was pregnant with my daughter and looking for Mom groups.

How long have you worked for FIT4MOM South OC? 8 months.

How has FIT4MOM South OC changed your life? Fit4Mom helped me in my early stages of motherhood over 10 years ago and now I am able to work for the same group as the Marketing Director and a mom of two older children. It's funny how things work out that way sometimes!

What was the first class that you attended and/or taught? What was the last class that you attended and/or taught? First class was a Stroller Strides class in November 2012, 6 weeks after my daughter was born. The last class was a Shops at Mission Viejo Pop Up class that Amanda taught.

What classes do you currently attend and/or teach? Since my children are no longer stroller age I don't attend a ton of classes but I am looking forward to Body Well that will be starting again early next year.

What is your favorite workout move or class layout? I took part in a Body Well session back in 2013 and absolutely loved it. The mix of diet, workout, accountability and community led to great results for me.
