Growing up, I played team sports and competing at various levels. I played soccer, basketball, lacrosse, golf, and even a bit of horseback riding. Throughout all my time playing on these different teams I fell in love with pushing myself to be the top athlete I could be. Once I made it to high school I chose lacrosse as my primary sport and I trained as much as I could to be the top player I could be. When I got into college, that’s when my fitness journey changed paths. My lacrosse career came to an end and I was looking to stay in shape.
I started CrossFit in November 2020. I was brought to a free week of classes in Lynchburg, VA, where my first workout was squat jumps and burpees. From day one I was hooked on the workouts and the community of CrossFit. Seeing how quickly I picked up CrossFit, due to the coaches and the communities, inspired me to hopefully do the same for others.
When I first started at CrossFit Route 7 I was an on-and-off member as I was only here for my short winter and summer breaks throughout college, but every time I came back I was more and more welcomed and pushed by the coaches. Since graduating college, I am in the area full time and am so excited to make memories with the community in and out of the gym while coaching.
I hold the following certifications:
