I am a proud mother of two teenage boys, school social worker, private therapist, high school sports coach, crossfit coach and personal trainer.
Background / How did you start CrossFit?
My kickboxing coach was also a CrossFit coach. When he saw me getting bored, he made me try a CrossFit class and I was immediately hooked.
How long have you been doing CrossFit / Coaching?
I started taking CrossFit classes in 2011. I began coaching CrossFit in 2012.
Why do you love to coach?
I truly believe fitness is transformative for people, both physically and mentally. I love teaching people how to do things they never thought they could do. I am grateful to be part of their journey to better themselves, even if it’s just an hour at a time.
