For as long as I can remember, I have always loved playing sports. Being raised by a football coach, being active, and competing in sports was ingrained in my DNA. I participated in softball, basketball, volleyball, and powerlifting. I remained active in college by playing intramural sports at Texas A&M. My CrossFit journey began in 2014 with a group of friends in a garage. I joined my first box a few years later and haven’t looked back. I earned my Crossfit Level 1 in 2023 to further my knowledge of the sport and gain the skills needed to help others on their fitness journey.

Outside of the box, I love trying new things - from Spartan races, running half marathons, and hiking through our beautiful state parks - I’m always up for an adventure!

I love Crossfit because it’s truly for everyone! People of all fitness levels and backgrounds can come together and do the same workout. Every single movement can be modified and scaled to match your fitness level. I love watching people accomplish things they never thought possible. From getting your first box jump, hitting a new 1RM, or running 400m for the first time - there is always something to shoot for inside the box.

While I appreciate the physical side of CrossFit, I love the community even more. Some of my dearest friendships are a result of this community. CF3S is way more than a gym – it’s a family!
