 I’m a problem solver.  No matter what it is, I can’t help but try to figure out a solution.  Some would say I’m obsessive/compulsive, but I prefer diligent/hardworking.  I love a challenge.  I love to be tested.  At the same time, I like to test people. Sometimes people don’t give themselves enough credit.  I like to show them that you can do anything if you just try hard enough.


Why I CrossFit:

 I have always been athletic and always played some type of sport at one point or another in my life (volleyball, cheerleading, softball, gymnastics, karate, and for a very brief moment I actually clogged-LOL).   I LOVE peoples accomplishments, especially athletic accomplishments!  It doesn’t matter how small or great the accomplishment, it should be celebrated!!!  I love the people and  I also love the range of emotions I feel when I come.  I love the social part of the morning, the anticipation of the WOD, the excitement and adrenaline rush right before the WOD, the intensity and determination of conquering the WOD, and the constant encouragement from good friends.  What a great way to start the morning!

CF Certifications:

 Level 1 Certified, Elementary School P.E. teacher (2 years which would explain my cue cards and the extreme detail I go into when teaching a class-haha), Collegiate Cheerleading CEU (I had to put this, because it really speaks a large part about me. I LOVE to cheer people on, always have, always will!)

What I love about CrossFit The Club:

 I LOVE the people!!!  It doesn’t matter who you are.  If you are coming to CrossFit the Club I will know your name very soon!!!  We aren’t just a number here, we are a CrossFit family and when someone is missing, it is definitely noticed!

Interesting About Me:

 Oh gosh, what’s NOT interesting about me?  Haha! It’s extremely rare that I EVER forget a face and I’m pretty good memorizing names.  Knowing peoples names is important to me.  I love people in general and I believe everyone has a story.  Everyone has experiences, one or many, that has shaped them to a great degree.   I would love to sit down with everyone and get their story.  I love to learn from people and feel there is great learning to be had among all of us, by each of us!
