About Me
Despite coming from a military family, I spent most of my years in the Carolinas. After graduating high school, I decided to pursue my love for fitness and creation at High Point University, where I studied Exercise Science and Creative Writing. I completed my Level 1 CrossFit Trainer certification my freshman year, and have been coaching at CrossFit Versatile in Greensboro, NC ever since. The joy I receive from helping and connecting with others over an activity that I love is unbeatable. Over the years, I have also developed a love for film, and have since been creating content for both myself and others on the side. In 2024 I had the opportunity to be on the media team for the teenage CrossFit Games, and that experience opened up a whole new realm of possibilities.
I pride myself on being a competitive athlete who loves being busy and working hard. My long hours in the gymnastics gym growing up shaped me into who I am today. The coaches I experienced in the sport ultimately drove me to want to be a coach myself, to both help stop the cycle of toxic coaching culture and to be the kind of coach I wish I had had back then.
When I am not coaching, creating content, or training, I enjoy quiet nights with friends and family, traveling, spending time outdoors, reading, painting, baking, and going to the beach. I've been told am an old soul, and I embrace it!
I recently accepted a position in the Disney College Program, and will be working at Disney from mid-August through the beginning of February! Until then, I plan on continuing to do my thing, and after...well, we'll see what life has in store for me!
