I’m originally from sunny San Diego, but made the trek to the East Coast in 2004 to attend the University of Pennsylvania. There I studied Mixed-Media Production and was a duel sport D-1 Athlete on the Women’s Basketball and Women’s Track & Field teams. After graduating from Penn, I trained as an amateur Muay Thai Kickboxer and served as captain and starting Quarterback for the Philadelphia Liberty Belles women’s semi-pro, full-tackle football team.

In 2010, CrossFit crashed into my life like a big mac truck. In less than a week of classes, I was obsessed!!  In 2013 I earned my CFL1 and since then I have been a very proud coach at RIV Athletics, and an outspoken advocate of the amazing benefits that CrossFit and our many other programs can provide people of all levels of fitness! As a former division one athlete, I have a true PASSION FOR POWER. So, watch out all you new members… I will have you drinking the RIV Kool-Aid before you know it, and looking damn good doing it!
