ABOUT LORETTA
Loretta is what many have called a Jack of all trades. Growing up she despised this term because she didn’t fell outstanding at any ONE thing in particular, but was in stead adequately skilled in many areas. Over the years however, she has grown to cherish this term as her career path has led her in many directions, each requiring a different skill set.
Loretta graduated with honors from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill with a degree in International Studies specializing in cross-cultural studies and Frenc. In addition, spending a year in France as an exchange student, being multi-racial with a desire to promote unity in the midst of diversity, have all led her to pursue her dream of becoming the American ambassador to France.
Needless to say, she has not become the American ambassador to France, but has instead become an ambassador to the world on the importance of WELLNESS-Physical, Emotional, Mental and Spiritual-not on behalf of United States, but as a citizen of the world. Her passion for overall health and wellness even inspired her to create her own skincare line, ALL OVER ME. She has presented and taught classes in over 100 countries around the world, and the list continues to grow! She has been a Cover Model, an Inspirational Speaker, a video game avatar (twice), live television host, photographer, videographer, web designer, content creator, wellness coach, fitness instructor and educator, commercial talent, social media manager and of course, the role that brings her the most joy-wife and mom.
So, today, she no longer despises the term Jack of all trades, as she now understands that without these skills she would never be able to accomplish her life vision of being a Happiness Hustler-someone who spreads joy where ever they go.
It also helped that she recently discovered the full saying and who it was in reference to. The phrase was originally coined in 1592 by Robert Greene in reference to one William Shakespeare and is as follows:
“A jack of all trades is a master of none, but oftentimes better than a master of one.”
“There are many people that can help you enjoy a zumba class, but few can touch your soul like Loretta can. Her soul shines through in everything she does and you get fit as your soul gets renewed” -Rene M.
Loretta has a desire to use her life and experiences to inspire others on their journey to physical, emotional, mental and spiritual wellness. Whether through speaking engagements, events, radio, television, print, masterclasses, online, or even just a smile-her goal is to make a lasting impact on everyone she meets.

Extremely talented and charismatic I could say, very focus and professional, always with a warm smile and a kind word for you, I been having to interact with her at the ZIN academy LA and the ZIN conventions in Orlando, where she is one of the presenters, and outside of that part in Facebook every time she share something and you mention her I am not kidding, she always reply to you! That creates a very close relationship in between us every day Zumba instructors or general audience with her. Telling people to be humble after you reach some success in your career is easy, but applying it the way she does it every day … that is been true to your words, and for people like her I have high respect and admiration. -Rocio N.
