WHAT IS YOUR HOMETOWN?  Needles, CA – GO MUSTANGS!

WHAT DO YOU DO IN YOUR FREE TIME?  When I’m not traveling/exploring with my fiancé, I enjoy being a dog mom & coaching high school softball.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE MOVEMENT AND/OR CROSSFIT WORKOUT? My favorite CrossFit movements are deadlifts, wall balls, box jumps & double unders. I love challenging myself and completing Diane, Karen & Annie.

ANY ADVICE FOR SOMEONE NEW TO HEAT WAVE CROSSFIT? Stepping out of your comfort zone is the hardest, but most rewarding part of this process! Push through the pain and commit yourself to a healthy lifestyle and great friendships!

WHAT BROUGHT YOU INTO CROSSFIT AND WHAT KEEPS YOU HERE? I’ve always been an athlete, so after college I struggled to find something that would fuel the desire I had to compete. A friend finally talked me into joining and I’ve never looked back. I am now a part of a new team that motivates me to give an all-out effort every day!
