Growing up I played many different sports including competitive cheerleading, soccer, and basketball. I really found my niche in high school though with swimming. I swam all 4 years and was Captain my senior year. Once I went to college, sports were no longer my priority compared to academics. Over the next two years, I developed an eating disorder and lost any muscle mass I had and overall, I was not in a great place. It was a year later in May of 2019 that my now-husband finally convinced me to come to his CrossFit gym for a “buddy day”. I didn’t want to go and did not believe I was capable of doing any kind of workout. That gym was CrossFit St. Pete and my life forever changed after that day. I wasn’t able to complete the workout that day but I was hooked and wanted to join immediately. I fell completely in love with this sport and this community that truly changed my life. I never would’ve thought that 5 years later I would want to compete in the sport, let alone coach it but it’s been an absolute dream come true and a full-circle moment for me.
My biggest enemy has always been myself. Whether it’s struggling through self-doubt, insecurity, an eating disorder, or a combination of all three. CrossFit was that turning point for me because it shifted my focus. I was no longer obsessed with being small and taking up as little space as possible. I fell in love with this process of bettering myself and growing mentally and physically. I honed in on what my body can DO versus what it looks like - and that key change in mentality drove me through my workouts, showing up every day, and continuing to move forward even when it’s hard.
I'm passionate about helping others who struggle to believe in themselves. Those that look at this sport and think, “I could never do that” or “I’ll never be good enough”. CrossFit meets you where you’re at. It doesn’t matter what background you have, how old you are, or whether or not you consider yourself an athlete. It’s truly for everyone and I’m passionate about showing people how capable they truly are and how much they can grow!
