What programs do you coach at CFKSQ?  I currently coach CrossFit classes.

How long have you been coaching (anything), and how long have you been coaching at CFKSQ?  I have been coaching CrossFit for 10 years and have been at CFKSQ since 2024.

How did you first find CrossFit or functional fitness? I first discovered CrossFit from a friend, and we tried to do Murph at a local park. What an introduction to the sport! After trying it out at a gym, I fell in love with it.

What's your favorite movement in a WOD? And what movement could you happily never see again? I love to see running or any squat movement (air squats, overhead squats, or even squat snatches). I’d love to never see SDHP or the Echo Bike in a workout again.

What do you enjoy most about coaching? What I love most about coaching is helping athletes achieve their goals and accomplish things they once thought were beyond their reach. Seeing the excitement, pride, and genuine joy on their faces when they exceed their own expectations is the most rewarding part of what I do.

Are there particular populations, age groups, or fitness goals you especially enjoy working with? I like working with a wide variety of athletes, each with their own unique needs and challenges.

What do you do when you're not at CFKSQ? When I’m not at CFKSQ, I’m usually chasing around my energetic toddler. I also love reading, playing sports with friends, and spending time with my husband.

What would the you of today say to your first-day-of-CrossFit you? Keep showing up and trust the process. Your life is about to change!

What's your go-to piece of advice, quote, or mantra? My favorite piece of fitness advice is to squat more. Something silly I say to myself to keep things light and to keep fitness in perspective is, “but did you die?”
