I currently teach POP Pilates, but you can also find me taking classes at Pulse!

WHAT I LOVE ABOUT PULSEPDX

the vibes

Everyone at PulsePDX is so friendly and warm and full of love. Since I started coming here in early 2025, I’ve felt such a sense of community and support from everyone I meet. Plus, there’s a little mini disco ball on the streaming camera and it makes my disco heart so happy!

MY STORY

how I got started

I’ve been dancing since I can remember! I took dance classes from ages 3 to 17, and was a part of a dance company for two years. I’m experienced in jazz, contemporary, modern, and ballet classes, and I also did musical theatre for a large part of my youth. When not in the studio, I would be choreographing dances in my room at night instead of doing math homework (sorry, Mom!). I’m currently studying for my Group Fitness Instructor certification from AFAA, and I look forward to learning more formats to teach!

SUPPORTIVE, KIND & WELCOMING ENVIRONMENT

why join me?

I try to bring a silly, unserious energy to class. Fitness can be so intimidating, but it can also be so fun! When we let go of our expectations and judgement of ourselves, it leaves room for playfulness and curiosity. Come take a class and see for yourself!
