Heather comes to us with a unique blend of business and fitness-related education and experience. She holds a BA in Economics from UCSD, but left the corporate rat race to join the fitness industry in the summer of 2000. She then attained an AAS degree as a Fitness Specialist from Lake Washington Technical College, as well as several national certifications; including Personal Trainer & Group Fitness Instructor certifications through ACE (American Council on Exercise), HFI (Health & Fitness Instructor) through ACSM (The American College of Sports Medicine), and Heart Zones Cycling Level 1 certified. Joining the Cycle U team allows Heather to combine her passion for fitness with her experience in the business world.

When she's not busy keeping Cycle U running smoothly, she enjoys spending time with her family, training for triathlons with the LUNA Chix Seattle Triathlon Team, and volunteering with Girls on The Run. Heather is currently racing sprint distance triathlons, while looking to make the leap to longer distances in the near future. Her favorite Ben & Jerry's ice cream flavor is Chubby Hubby, and her favorite quote is: "He who has health has hope, and he who has hope has everything." -Arabian Proverb
