B.A. Criminal Justice I’m a graduate from Bloomsburg University with a Bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice. I was a juvenile probation officer for many years, but have since moved on to owning my own pet sitting business as well as becoming a kettlebell instructor. I can honestly say I’m in the best shape of my life since incorporating kettlebells(and proper nutrition too!!) into my daily regimen. If you want results, kettlebells are the way to go! I look forward to seeing you at the studio!
