How did you get into CrossFit?

I was a competitive gymnast, so I’ve always had a passion for fitness. Eventually, I got to a point where I wanted a new challenge, and that’s when I found CrossFit. I fell in love with the sport, the community, and the constant opportunity to push myself.

 

What Motivates your passion for fitness and healthy living?

I love seeing what my body is capable of and challenging myself to keep growing. Living a healthy lifestyle gives me the energy and confidence to show up as the best version of myself, and I love helping others discover that same feeling.

 

What are some of the benefits you have seen from doing CrossFit? CrossFit has made me stronger physically and mentally. It’s taught me resilience, built my confidence, and surrounded me with an incredible community. I love that there’s always something new to learn and another goal to chase.

 

Why do you coach and what motivates you to teach?

Coaching allows me to help people realize they’re capable of more than they think. Seeing someone accomplish something they once thought was impossible is what motivates me every day.

 

What is your favorite food?

I’m fully addicted to ice cream. I eat it every day! 🍦 

 

What are some things you like to do outside of CrossFit?

I’m obsessed with my golden retriever, Wrigley, and love spending as much time with him as I can. Outside of the gym, you’ll usually find me outdoors, trying new restaurants, or spending time with family and friends. I also love going home to Canada. 🇨🇦
