I love coaching the clean. I love seeing people understand the movement and put the pieces together.

I started doing CrossFit during the off season of college soccer to keep myself in shape. I fell in love almost instantly. It also gave me a unique group of people to hangout with. Friends for life. Eventually, I decided to become a coach because fitness is one of the few things that I absolutely love and feel the need to share with as many people as possible.

I typically coach the PM classes!

I was seeking some sort of community and outlet after leaving sports in high school. Crossfit gave me the ability to continue to have that athlete mindset, but with more emphasis on my health and wellness. I learn best while teaching others, and I love the community aspect of this gym! It’s my happy place. I’ve grown a lot both physically and mentally. I appreciate my gym family!

I had a friend in 2015 who said “I want to try this CrossFit thing, come with me!” I came to the onramp class, and I immediately loved the owners and community at my first gym, Crossfit Hilo Iron. When I moved to San Diego in 2019, I didn’t have to struggle to meet people or make friends in a new place! I think wellness is built on community and is meant for everyone. I’m happy to be able to perpetuate wellness and help build and bolster the community at 1904!
