A little bit about me, I’m 34, a mom of three, and I’ve been married to my husband for 12 years. We moved to Idaho from Southern California in 2022 after years of vacationing here with family, so getting to call the Treasure Valley home has been pretty special.  Outside of the gym, I love spending time with my crazy kids, gardening and cooking- so much cooking. I found my way to CrossFit Fireside three months postpartum after having my third baby. I was simply looking for a way to move my body and feel like myself again, and what started as a way to get moving quickly became a passion. I definitely wasn’t good at CrossFit when I started, but I loved learning, improving, and chasing those tiny wins along the way. I love CrossFit because it gives me a chance to feel athletic again. There’s always a new skill to learn, a lift to improve, or a tiny goal to chase, and I love that there’s always something to work toward. I also really love the community that comes with it.I chose to coach because I especially love cheering on the newbie. I remember being the person who didn’t know what I was doing, and I love helping people find confidence in themselves and realize they’re capable of more than they thought. I was inspired by some amazing coaches at Fireside, and I hope to have that same impact on others.Fireside is a really special community, and getting to be part of it as a coach feels like a dream.
