How long have you been involved with CrossFit? What got you started? 
I started CrossFit in 2010 when my husband Aaron introduced me to the methodology.

What’s your favorite CrossFit move/lift? Why? 
I love snatches and ring muscle ups because both are movements I never thought I would be able to perform. Once I learned them, it never gets old practicing them and improving my form.

What’s your least favorite? Why? 
My least favorite movements are double-unders and box jumps because my body doesn't respond well to repetitive jumping movements.

What’s your favorite part about coaching? 
I love to watch people learn new movements while improving their fitness. I love seeing them become more confident with life as well as working out.

If you’re going to cheat on diet, what’s your guilty pleasure food or meal? 
I will cheat with high quality cheese and maybe chips and salsa.

Favorite hobby outside of the gym? 
I don't have time for hobbies, but I spend time with family and cleaning house. :)

What keeps you coming back to CrossFit every day? 
I love how every workout is different and I am never bored or stagnant in my workouts. 

What’s your favorite thing about Refine?
Refine is my home away from home. I love the people we have at Refine. These people are the most kind and genuine loving people I know. I am so thankful for the members and what I learn from them every day.
