Why did you become a Coach?

I’ve been a Personal Trainer and I also coach elite baseball.  While you don’t always get through to everyone, there are enough moments where you do see the light bulb or the switch come on in an athlete.  And to be a small part of an “A-ha” moment or a PR for an athlete, hear about all the positives going on because of fitness is great!

Superman because he can do everything.  But if I could have one superpower I’d choose teleportation.

Why I got into Fitness? (CrossFit)

Growing up I played a lot of competitive sports and became very interested in the training side of things as I wanted to be the best athlete I could be!  After studying Kinesiology my passion for health and fitness continued to grow.  My competitive sports journey had come to an end and I needed something to keep me motivated.  Initially, I thought CrossFit was ridiculous-injuries waiting to happen, however, after a friend eased me into it, I fell in love!  With so many movements to work on and challenges my competitive nature took over and to this day I continuously strive to challenge myself in new ways!

Favourite Superhero?

My #1 supporter and fan, my Dad! Growing up he dedicated a lot of his time and money to my sports, ensuring I made it to every practice, game and tournament. I never realized how financially and physically demanding these teams were until I was older and doing it on my own. I will be forever grateful as it has made me the person I am today.
