Shari took her first Jazzercise class in early 1994 at St. David’s and was hooked. She became a certified instructor in 1997 and taught for 10 years. When she went back to school to become a nurse she had to give up teaching Jazzercise. She left her job as a chemist at Pfizer to become an RN at Backus hospital in February 2011. She has been a nurse for over 10 years and now works in cardiac rehab at Backus. This allows her to use her love of exercise and a healthy lifestyle to help others. She re-certified to teach Jazzercise again in October 2019 right before the pandemic hit and has been back teaching in person and online (of course) for almost 2 years. Jazzercise has been a big part of her life for 28 years and she feels it is a fun and effective way to stay in shape!! The best part of Jazzercise has been all the wonderful friends she has made along the way!
