I’m from Plattsburgh, NY and started CrossFit in 2022. Way back, I did briefly get a taste of CrossFit through my high school volleyball coach as a form of conditioning. Looking back, I wish I would’ve kept with it! Fitness is no stranger to me as growing up I spent many years playing competitive basketball, volleyball and track and field. In college, I played four years of Division 3 volleyball for St. Lawrence University. Once collegiate sports ended, I focused on coaching young girls in volleyball and basketball as well as concentrating on completing my master’s degree. For the past three years with my degree, I have worked as a School Psychologist for an elementary school in Punta Gorda, FL. This year, I’ve gotten back into youth coaching as I am a Girls on the Run volunteer coach!My first year in FL there were big changes in my life happening, but CrossFit was my constant and helped me when I needed it most. I became more involved at the gym, posting social media content and shadowing coaches and later obtaining my Level 1 CrossFit Trainer Certificate with Coach Dale's support. Now mostly in the evenings, I coach the 6:30 PM CrossFit class!I have not lost my drive to compete as I’ve competed in various CrossFit competitions throughout SWFL. Most recently, I got 5th place in the PRVN Community Throwdown, Scaled Division! Daily I love to compete with my CrossFit friends for new PRs. I am most proud of my 200 IB back squat PR I hit back in September 2024! In 2025 I am hoping to take 8 steps in a handstand walk, and complete one muscle up!
