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 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.
