Growing up with a twin brother and playing all the sports, being competitive was something that came natural to me. I did track for two years in college, but then during my junior year I had to get knee surgeries which led to me having to drop from the team. I tried to go to the bro-ish globo gyms, but missed the competitiveness that came from working out with a group of people. I stumbled into my first CrossFit gym in 2016, and immediately got hooked. I went on to get my L1 in 2017 and since then have loved coaching and being a part of people’s hype team. When I’m not at the gym, I work as a barista and then I’m currently in school tackling my Masters of Social Work. I’m also obsessed with my dog named Willa.

I believe in 100% what Pat Sherwood says, “The goal is just to get fit, make it the best hour of your day, stay safe, turn up the music, high five some people, and blow off some steam. So remember that, relax, and have fun”
