Brooke Barry

Instructor

Brooke Barry started attending Fearless Focus classes when she was in middle school. After just one session she blossomed into a self-assured young woman and noticed how making new friendships with peers had become much easier. Through the Fearless Focus program, she has learned the importance of self-love and many valuable lessons to help her navigate the world around her. Today, Brooke is thankful to be able to pass on the knowledge that she has learned at Fearless Focus to students through her position as an instructor.

Evelyn Donovan

Instructor

Evelyn Donovan began attending Fearless Focus when she was seven years old. As a former student, Evelyn noticed that year after year; she would gain more and more confidence and self-love. Evelyn believes that Fearless Focus has taught her the value of kindness and has made her confident and proud of who she is. Today Evelyn is grateful to be in a position to mentor and help instruct young girls on how to increase their self-confidence and boost their self-esteem.

Isabella Keenan

Instructor

Isabella Keenan first became aware of the Fearless Focus Program when she was asked to take part in a student-planned fashion show in kindergarten. In elementary school, she went to summer camps and school vacation week camps. In middle school, she realized how much she loved the program and she started taking weekly classes. The program has helped Isabella gain confidence and become a mature young adult. Isabella is now so grateful to be able to instruct other students on important life skills including how to become more self-confident.
