I grew up outside of Washington DC in a sporty family where weekends were spent shuttling between tournaments, games, and practices. I played softball growing up and then added rugby to my repertoire in college, and always loved being a part of a tight community of athletes. Alongside that, my life’s work has always been teaching, so coaching is the perfect blend of both of these passions for me! I love challenging athletes to try new things and attempt new challenges, and my goal is to create spaces where all athletes feel welcomed and valued.
My ideal workout would include a partner!!! My favorite thing about fitness is working hard with and for another person! And heavy snatches.
Outside the gym, I enjoy spending time with friends and family! Which usually involves things like playing games, seeing musicals, hiking, and taking long walks.
A really cool experience I’ve had is hitchhiking around South America while I was there for a teaching position. 10% scary, 90% incredible!
