History of Education and Certifications:

I graduated from Garden Spot High School in 2011, after graduation I pursued a Certification from ISSA. I've held many certifications ranging from personal training, to nutrition, as well as My CF level 1.

How Long Have You Been Doing Fitness:

As a junior and senior in high school (2009-2011), I actively participated in track and field. My "niche" was throwing, and for that reason we were in the weight room a lot. This is primarily where my passion for strength was born. Once I graduated, I started attending at the local YMCA ,and eventually pursued getting certified and actively working as a personal trainer. I finally found crossfit in 2015 and after the very first session I was hooked. It's been a huge part of my life since then.

What Do You Do for a Profession:

I have the privilege of staying home and homeschooling my children, and working with clients from a variety of walks with life in and out of the gym. 

What Is Your Favorite Exercise: 

One of my favorite things about crossfitting is the incredibly wide variety of exercises that I've been introduced to over the years. There is always room to improve, change, vary, and level up. Also I really love the olympic lifting side of crossfit. Give me heavy weights any day!

What is Health to You:

Health to me is how someone manages things like training, nutrition, mobility, and recovery. It's not one sided and it's not one size fits all. I have learned through the years that if you want to be the best you can be, you absolutely have to focus on multiple life facets, instead of just laser focusing on training specifically. I've learned that the hard way, and would encourage anyone to think of health as a broad concept capable of touching, ... and improving, multiple areas of life.

Favorite Dinosaur: 

I know one dinosaur. T-rex. So.. I guess that makes him my favorite! Ha
