Having 10 years of CrossFit training experience have help me developed a deep knowledge of the multi-movements in Crossfit. This has help me understand how to manage individual egos for longevity and injury prevention. Injury prevention is key in teaching athletes to listen to their bodies and scale movements to prevent both short and long term injury. This will help athletes maintain a healthy and fitness for life. I primarily focus on form and technique over intensity. It is extremely important to learn mechanics and consistency before adding significant weight or speed.

I’ve been doing CrossFit for over 8 years, and my athletic background began in track and field, where I competed for three years and served as team captain my senior year of high school. It was during that time that my coach introduced a group of top female athletes to CrossFit, and I instantly fell in love.

Weightlifting is what I love most about CrossFit. The progression, the grit it takes to get there, and watching the hard work finally pay off is unmatched. Seeing that progress show both physically and mentally is what keeps me passionate about coaching. That progress can be yours too.

I’m especially passionate about helping everyone, especially women, to realize just how strong they can be, and proving that strength is built, not given. My favorite CrossFit lift is the snatch, because it demands power, precision, and confidence all at once.

CrossFit is an incredible sport because it truly is for everyone, from kids just starting to senior citizens looking to stay strong and healthy. I love coaching athletes of all levels and helping them move better, lift with confidence, and believe in their potential.

Outside the gym, I love food (fuel matters!)—and sushi is my favorite 🍣.
