Growing up I had NO athletic background. I was a genuine diehard coach potato. As a young teen, I was never overweight but being a more “thicker” girl, I interpreted that as being overweight. From a young age, I developed an unhealthy bond with food. Food was my comfort and as I got older life got crazy; marriage, kids and the weight started to increase. After having my forth son, I decided to walk the weight off. Walking turned into running, and then I hit a plateau of exercise boredom. I read about CrossFit, and then tried my first class and I was hooked.

‍

But it wasn’t until I came to CF EXP where I finally discovered my hidden athlete inside. On my first visit to EXP I knew this was HOME, Coach Nick took the time to get to know me personally and athletically and helped me to develop that inner beast. From watching and training with other strong woman at EXP I was able to finally see my body not big and thick, but strong and beautiful!

‍

Just as the coaches at EXP helped me see what was truly inside me, physically and mental, I too want to help others find that in themselves. I am a goal driven Coach and athlete, and believe that if you don’t set goals (big and small) then you make no progress in and out of the gym. Whether it is the competitive athlete setting goals for their next comp or the triathlete who wants to better their time, or the member who wants to drop weight; I want to help you achieve the goals that you set for yourself.

Not only am I a coach and athlete but I have been married to my husband Jason for 30 years. We have raised 4 sons and have 2 amazing dogs at home. I love Donuts, Coffee and Cheese!!!! I use an unhealthy amount of chalk in my workouts, and love to work out to music really loud! I love burpees and anything with a barbell.
