CF-L2 | Coach

I found CrossFit in 2014 while at MNSU – Mankato for my internship while getting my undergraduate in Exercise Science. It quickly became my favorite place and thing. The atmosphere and community were unlike anything else and I’ve been hooked since. I have judged many CrossFit events and competed in a few. In high school I played goalie in both hockey and soccer.

I began coaching for the same reason I started teaching, to help people. I enjoy teaching and showing athletes – of all abilities – what they are and can be capable of. It brings me joy to see athletes improve in their skills and pushing themselves to new levels.

Outside of the gym I teach Physical Education and Adaptive Physical Education. I also am the director of a summer sports camp for kindergarteners and first graders. I enjoy hiking, spending time with family, and tacos.
