I started my CrossFit journey in 2015 in Minneapolis, after hearing some coworkers talking about it, and lacking the gumption to use my ‘Globo’ membership. I thought, “that sounds like it could be fun!” Well in one way it was fun, in the other way I was so sore after my introductory class that I couldn’t bend my arms to wash my hair. From there I was hooked. What I initially thought would be some ‘fun workouts’ has changed my life, challenging me both physically and mentally and building my confidence in that “I know I can do hard things” sort of way. I found my way to Amplify in November of 2023 where the community was so welcoming and infectious that I began coaching in July 2024. In the gym my favorite movements center around the barbell snatch and anything overhead. My background in Tumbling, both as an athlete and a coach, drives my appreciation for technique work and efficient movements that showcase what our bodies are capable of!

Outside of the gym I work full time selling children’s toys to retailers such as Target, am an avid baker, an amateur gardener and Dog Mom. Can’t wait to see you in class, I know you can do hard things too!
