CrossFit Level 1 Trainer, Brand X Method Professional Youth Coach, and Burgener Strength Level 1 Weightlifting

I have played sports all my life, I was a hockey player from the age of 8 to the age of 16. Then from there I have tried different fitness groups including Zumba, Kickboxing, Pilates.

I learned about CrossFit in 2017. After going into my first class not knowing what I was getting myself into the coaches made me feel right at home! I have continued with CrossFit since then here at CrossFit Rush. Shortly after starting I learned that they had a kids program, AMAZING! I now had a place that both myself and my daughter could enjoy fitness together. I’ve had a passion for the fitness industry for over 7 years but the time was never right to pursue my dream. Recently I decided to push myself outside of my comfort zone and take a risk on myself and I couldn’t be happier that I did. When an athlete says ” Wow, thank you for that it helped me out” is the best feeling ever. Helping others achieve their goals is what makes me happy and now I get to do that with our athletes, adults and kids.
