​

1. Describe your athletic background.​

​

I’ve always been active. In high school, I played soccer and rowed crew. As an adult, I love to do anything outside from hiking to biking, even a good kid run.

​

2. How and when did you become familiar with CrossFit?

 

In 2013, my sister asked me to come check out a CrossFit class with her, and it has been a match made in heaven ever since!

​

3. What is your most memorable CrossFit moment?

 

It was my first local CrossFit competition.  I was brand new to CrossFit, but went for it anyway. I was humbled by the movements and skills I couldn’t do yet.  However, I did get my first toes to bar. The CrossFit community is what blew my mind that day. People I didn’t know or that I just met cheered me on even when I was the last athlete on the floor. Looking back I also got to see how far I’ve come since that competition, with the help of great coaches, friends, and even some “strangers”.

​

4. What advice would you have for people interested in starting CrossFit?

​

Give it a try! The workouts can be modified for any fitness level and hey, you might just LOVE it!

​

5. What inspires you to keep training and become better every day?

​

My daughter is my main inspiration.  I want to be a healthy strong example for her.

6. What motivates you to be a coach at RDT?

Helping members of all backgrounds and fitness levels reach their goals and have fun doing it.
