I found CrossFit in 2017 and it changed everything.

‍

Before that, I spent over a decade as a competitive dancer, starting in 2005 and rising to be one of the top-ranked dancers in the East. Movement and discipline were always part of my life, but outside of the studio, I never quite felt like I fit in until I walked through the doors at Aevitas.

‍

What started as a place to train quickly became my home. CrossFit gave me the space to grow not just physically, but mentally and emotionally. Throughout my dance career and early days in CrossFit, I battled an eating disorder. But I wanted to move heavy weights. I wanted the stamina to keep up with the “big girls.” So I learned to eat. To fuel. To show up for myself. CrossFit didn’t just help me recover, it saved me.

‍

In 2020, I was invited to join the Aevitas coaching staff. Coaching here has been a dream and a privilege. CrossFit has taught me more about resilience, leadership, and personal growth than any college course, job, or dance class I’ve ever taken. Now, I get to pass those lessons on to our community, one lift, one class, one athlete at a time.

My purpose as a coach is to help people feel strong, seen, and supported, especially in those first moments when it all feels new. I’m often the first face someone meets when they walk into Aevitas for their very first class, and that means a lot to me. I love helping beginners find their confidence, their rhythm, and their passion for movement.

Whether it’s your first time picking up a barbell or you’re just trying to find your way back to yourself, I’m here to remind you that you deserve to take up space, loudly, fully, and without apology. That’s what drives me every day.
