Tell us a little about yourself and how you got into CrossFit?
I am the 4th youngest out of 5 in my family. ALL GIRLS! Yes, we drove our dad wacky. I grew
up in a very conservative family and was homeschooled for most of my life. I never had the opportunity growing up to play sports, besides the one year I played basketball (I mostly sat on the sideline). Instead, my mom put me in piano lessons. I’ve been playing piano since I was 6. Playing piano is still one of my favorite things to this day. I love playing classical, anime themes and video games scores. My now husband and I moved to Charleston back in 2017 to escape the cold and have never looked back. I love all outdoor activities. My favorites are kayaking, hiking and biking. I’d love to summit Mt. Everest one day (or at least basecamp). I know that’s a wild dream! I have 3 purrfect kitties, Zelda, Pepper (Pepper Pots) and Ciri. I keep bugging my husband for more! They rule the house! My sisters got me into CrossFit. They have been doing it for a few years and have always tried to get me to try it but I’ve always chickened out. I finally gave in last September and now I can’t be stopped. I am a very competitive person and this fills my competitive heart!
What keeps you coming back each day?
The community here and the friends I’ve made (shout out to the 6pm crew). I’m proud of my
accomplishments and progress too, which motivates me to keep coming.
What is your favorite at-home exercise to do?
I love doing core work at home or going biking on the Greenway.
If you had to do 100 reps of one movement (not running), what would it be?
I know I’ll regret saying DB snatches so maybe I’ll say sit-ups.
What are 1-2 of your goals for 2024?
I’d love to back squat 200 lbs but I might have to make that my goal next year. I REALLY want to learn to handstand walk. Outside of CrossFit I have a goal to read 100 books this year!
Favorite lift?
Back squat for sure!
Least favorite CrossFit movement?
I equally loathe thrusters and wallballs. Being short is a major disadvantage for wallballs.
Hometown?
East Longmeadow, Massachusetts
Favorite Charleston Restaurant?
Off Track Ice Cream
If you could do another job for just one day, what would it be?
Kitty cafe . Make coffee and be around cats all day!
What would you most like to tell yourself at age 13?
Homeschooling is cool/trendy now! You aren’t weird after all! But for real, I would tell myself not to compare myself to others.
If you could meet anyone, living or dead, who would you meet?
Edmund Hillary ( 1st person to summit Everest)
One thing about me people would be surprised to know?
I love heavy metal music (but I think people know that about me). I also love to cosplay.
If the CFJI coaches came to your house for dinner, what would you prepare?
Homemade pizza in our outdoor pizza oven and homemade ice cream!
Give us a “Question of the Day” to use in class.

Would you rather get a paper cut everyday or stub your toe everyday.
