My love of exercise goes way back, starting with dance and soccer. I played soccer my whole life until I was a junior in high school and I tore my ACL and meniscus playing. I took a year off from sports with no intentions on playing anything besides intramural soccer in college. My freshman year at Shippensburg I decided to play rugby. I played all 4 years of college and a few years after graduating for a local women’s team.
My Crossfit journey didn’t start until a few years ago when I moved to the area and was looking for a new gym to work out at. I found CFA through some family friends and fell in love with the gym immediately. After working out there for about a year, Mike and Virginia introduced me to the world of Strongman. I started competing after a few months of training and have placed in all 3 of my competitions so far (Shout out to the AWESOME programming 👏🏻).
I decided to become a coach to share my love of exercise. I have a Bachelors degree in Exercise Science and am currently a Student Physical Therapist at University of the Sciences working on my Doctorate. My goal is to help people become the healthiest versions of themselves so that they are able to conquer whatever life throws at them. I love watching people putting in hard work and seeing the results, which can range from a PR to simply a feeling of overall well-being (physically and mentally)!
