About Coach

After graduating from college, moving back home and getting caught up in binge drinking, I found myself depressed and praying for a healthy change. I had heard about CrossFit and tried a gym in the area. Like many others, I was hooked by the community and the workouts. I was quickly asked to do a competition that fueled my fire to be a competitive athlete & coach! After two years of trying to make regionals, 2017 was my breakthrough. Before competing I attended Ben Bergeron’s camp. His drive for excellence was contagious. I wanted my training to be on point and the only thing I had left to do was dial in was my nutrition. I started working with a nutrition company and quickly developed a passion to learn more and help others in their nutrition journey. The best part about my job as a CrossFit & Nutrition coach is that I get to wake up and do something that I love every day. At EAX we get to encourage our members, watch them grow and succeed in their health journey and that inspires me to be the best athlete, CrossFit & nutrition coach that I can be.

Motivation & Passion

My passion for coaching is fueled by the mom that comes in & wants to inspire her child to live a healthier lifestyle, By the high school athlete fighting to earn their spot on the team, By the dad that is living his best #dadbod life, By the old athlete that receives a new cue & it "just clicks", By the new athlete that walks in the door & is afraid, but willing to get out of their comfort zone. I get fired up seeing their little successes every day & their progression over time.
