My husband and I moved to Kennewick in 2007 from Vancouver, Washington.  Before relocating to Eastern Washington I worked  as the Fitness Director for Princeton Athletic Club.  I also worked as a Real Estate Agent for John L. Scott and was an active Rotarian.  I have  worked in a Health Club enviorment for over 25 years.   I was employed as General Manager of Powerhouse Gym in Vancouver Washington from 1999-2004.  I  also worked as the Operations Manager  for World's Gym of Portland, other facilities I have worked in include Physical Impact of Longview, and Bay Area Athletic Club of Coos Bay Oregon.  

My Philosophy in life and in training is to be strong.  I believe that life is best lived in the healthiest state possible.  Having a strong mind, strong spirit and strong body encompass living life to it's fullest!  For me the sucesses I see at LifeQuest encourage me to continue to strive for my own best fitness. It is not about being a perfect size, or achieving  a goal to run a race or complete a program.  I am on a journey for life.  The fitness goals along the way are simply milestones that help me stay focused and dialed in.
