I spent my childhood in Mexico and have very fond memories of growing up there. During my school years, I was very athletic and participated in a lot of sports from volleyball to basketball and soccer to American football, which I played from ages 11 until I was 23. I Fell in love with Football and played during my college years as well. During the time I was playing football in college, I was also introduced to weightlifting and CrossFit as part of my strength and conditioning program. Since then I have been hooked!

Throughout my childhood I have always had a passion for sport and fitness. After graduating high school I went to University of Wisconsin Eau Claire to major in kinesiology with the dream of becoming a Physical Education and Adapted Physical Education teacher. While also in college I had the opportunity to play softball. Through my career I developed a passion for working out. Which later developed into CrossFit. I started CrossFit in 2017. After competing in CrossFit for 2 years, I wanted to grow into becoming a coach. I obtained my L1 and began coaching CrossFit in 2019. In 2019, I also obtained my youth CrossFit certificate. My passion to help kids and adults achieve their goals and do things they never thought they could drives me everyday.
