I love dancing! I love exercising! I got the Zumba fever in the winter of 2010/11 and have since then been teaching all sorts of Zumba classes and arranging Zumba marathons in and around my home town Linköping, Sweden.
I started my career as a Zumba instructor by attending the Zumba Basic I training held by ZES Izabela Kin-Janda in February 2011 in Lohja, Finland, the country I was born in. I continued my education with the Zumba Gold training given by ZES Lars Wensink in August 2011 in Oslo, Norway. I have since then taken all Zumba trainings and I have also taught all types of Zumba classes.
Currently (2022/2023) I regularly teach Zumba® Fitness, Zumba Gold®, Zumba Gold® Toning, Zumba® Step, and Aqua Zumba®. I am self-employed as a certified personal trainer (CPT) and a licensed Zumba instructor (AFAA-CGFI).
In my spare time I enjoy going to social salsa and bachata events as well as visiting Zumba marathons and Zumba colleagues' classes. My other favourite sports include roadcycling and going to the gym.
