I discovered CrossFit/functional fitness in 2009 while attending my first fire academy, back when I was intimidated by pull-ups and terrified of barbells...Since then, I've never looked back. For years, this kept me fit as a firefighter, kept me healthy as a person, and now keeps me functioning as a mom. Seeing the efficacy of this type of program, made me want to share it with everyone. In 2014, I started coaching in order to share this passion and to help others build the foundation needed to help achieve their goals. Now, watching others become part of this mentally and physically positive community is what motivates me to be better, especially seeing someone who has little to no fitness background come in and become inspired to find the best version of themselves. In the gym, I love chipper-type workouts...and will never turn down anything with a barbell. Outside of the gym, I enjoy family adventures with my husband and daughter, traveling to new places, and tending to our chickens and garden while listening to music. "The first step is the hardest, but will lead to the best places."
