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.

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.
