Austin, Texas Area
I offer a wide array of experience and skills in fitness, education (high school and college) and research.

I have 15 years of experience in the fitness industry, working as a group fitness instructor, personal trainer, group exercise manager and master trainer for a nationally recognized group fitness and specialty certification. I have primary group fitness certifications through AFAA and NAFC and a personal training certification through NASM along with specialty certifications in freestyle and choreographed formats including Yoga, Barre, Kickboxing, HIIT, Strength, Cycle and Pilates (see resume for details).

I recently received my PhD in Sociology and have 3 years experience teaching college courses, ranging from Intro to Sociology to upper level courses such as Marriage and the Family, Deviant Behavior, Gender and Medical Sociology. I have taught in both a large university setting and in a smaller community branch system. I also have experience teaching online/distance learning courses. Prior to beginning my PhD, I taught and coached at risk youth in high needs schools and have a substantial amount of experience working with nonprofit organizations.
