About Coach

‍

I started CrossFit classes in 2014, hoping that it would help me to prolong my dance performing career, which it absolutely did. What I didn’t know when I started was that I would enjoy it so much, and that there would be movements that I could think about and refine technically in the way I did with ballet technique. That’s what drew me to pursue more focused Olympic weightlifting training, where I could really dive deep into the technical refinement of each lift. I really enjoyed training and competing in weightlifting, but I definitely missed the group class element of CrossFit training, and am really enjoying being back after a few years without working out. I have been teaching dance since 2005, so it only followed that with a new pursuit I would be drawn to coaching as well. I got my CrossFit Level One certificate in 2015 and started coaching within 3 months. I love breaking down movements into smaller pieces and helping people to move more efficiently, whether that’s in the dance studio or at the gym. In addition to teaching dance and coaching CrossFit, I also sew custom dance costumes, swimwear, and activewear. I love learning new things, spending time outside, and pursuing creative hobbies.
