The Team
Head Coach
From a young age I participated in organized sports and have always enjoyed being active. After playing basketball, softball and field hockey in high school; I had the privilege of playing field hockey at Longwood College. Once I graduated, I got married and started teaching HS Math and coaching basketball at a local high school. It wasn’t long after that I started having kids and found myself not making time to workout anymore.
Finally after I had my 4th child I found CrossFit and I fell in love with it. I was able to feel likeI was part of a “team” again and also let the competitive side of me out! I soon realized I wanted to coach. I am very passionate about what I do and I wanted to share that with others! I love helping others find joy and success in working out! It’s my goal to help them feel good about themselves when they walk out that door!
CrossFit & FIT Coach / Nutritionist
I was never much into fitness growing up. My parents encouraged me to play basketball because of my height, but I never really enjoyed it. In college I developed an unhealthy lifestyle and I knew I had to change my habits. I didn’t like going to the gym and I yo-yo dieted for years which caused a lot of unhealthy habits and mental health. After finding CrossFit and Olympic lifting I found something that made me feel strong and empowered.
I’ve continued to grow my fitness and coaching knowledge over the course of seven years and even though I may not be at the top of the leaderboard, I found my happiness in helping others achieve their goals and find their inner strength. I know the struggles that starting new life habits can bring and I carry that with me in my coaching
