I was born and raised in Maryland and attended the University of Maryland for college (go Terps)! In school I was a musician and ventured into the world of teaching music in private and classroom settings. I found a passion for seeing and helping people grow and achieve their goals.
My fitness journey truly began when my mom was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer when I was 20. This challenging experience taught me the value of health and fitness and pushed me into the non-profit space after college. I have spent much of my career working in the medical community alongside individuals battling life-threatening conditions and diseases. Each and every day I am floored by the importance of fitness and how a holistic approach to health can improve and extend quality of life.
I have a background in martial arts that began with boxing while in college and expanded into Muay Thai and Jiu Jitsu in recent years. I began my CrossFit journey in the fall of 2022 while living in Atlanta. My coach at the time suggested I look into obtaining a CF-L1 to improve my abilities and understanding of the CrossFit philosophy and methodology. So, in the summer of 2023, I did just that.
I love coaching and am so grateful to be a part of an amazing culture and team at CrossFit Winter Park and Winter Park Bootcamp. I look forward to getting to know you when you join this awesome gym!
