Born in Detroit, MI in 1982, I grew up watching my young parents work hard to provide for my 3 siblings and me. Their work ethic is something I have taken on from a young age. I love the grind, and that transferred over to sports at a young age. I was a competitive cheerleader for 11 years, was on the Dance Team in high school, ran Track throughout high school, and cheered in college at St. Gregory's University in Oklahoma. I was never the most talented, but I was passionate, so I worked hard for what I wanted to achieve.

After college, I fell into a rut, and felt like a big piece of me was missing, no longer being on a sports team. I started unhealthy habits, gained weight, and felt lost. In 2012 my husband and I found CrossFit, and we instantly fell in love with the challenge. CrossFit became the anchor I needed to live a healthy lifestyle, active, and productive life. The beautiful thing about CrossFit is that your journey is never finished. No matter where you are in your fitness journey, CrossFit will challenge you and grow with you as you progress.

CrossFit changed my life and I want to share that with others. The adaptability and resilience it has given me have impacted all facets of my life. The older I get, the healthier I feel. The way CrossFit motivates, educates, and connects people, is unrivaled. I love being able to make a positive impact on my community. The magic of CrossFit is real.
