As long as I can remember, I have possessed a passion for health and fitness. In college, I found an outlet for this passion by becoming a certified group fitness instructor. During my time as an undergraduate at William and Mary, as well as my time as a graduate student at the University of Chapel Hill, I taught a variety of group fitness classes. When I graduated from UNC-Chapel Hill with an M.Ed. and Ed.S in School Psychology, I returned to Williamsburg to work as a school psychologist. However, my love for health and fitness continued to grow. In the fall of 2011, my entire view of fitness began to evolve. My husband, Matt, began completing CrossFit workouts in our garage. As I starting taking part in the CrossFit WODs, I quickly transformed from a “cardio queen” to ordering my own women’s bar for power lifts. My enthusiasm for CrossFit stemmed not only from the improvement in my strength and endurance, but also from the confidence I gained. My background in group fitness as well as psychology has helped me transition into a CrossFit Level 1 trainer. I love the group atmosphere and enjoy motivating people as they work towards their goals. I look forward to seeing you in class!
