About Coach
As the founder and owner of Bold Roots CrossFit, I combine my passion for fitness, education, and community to help people of all ages and experience levels become stronger, healthier, and more confident.
Turning Point
My path to coaching wasn't linear. Before opening Bold Roots, I spent 11 years in the finance industry before pivoting to my passion for education—spending the next 18 years teaching high school Earth & Space and Environmental Science. Thirteen years ago, I discovered CrossFit. I fell hard for the methodology, and for the past three years, I’ve been channeling my love for teaching directly into coaching athletes of all abilities.
Motivation & Passion
My background in education shapes every class I lead. To me, great coaching is about meeting people exactly where they are, breaking down complex movements, and helping every athlete build confidence through expert instruction, steady encouragement, and consistency.
I founded Bold Roots to be more than just a gym. I wanted to build a community where people feel welcomed, supported, and inspired to become the strongest version of themselves—inside and outside the gym. Guided by our core values of Integrity, Inclusion, Inspiration, and Laughter, I strive to create an environment where everyone belongs, works hard, and has fun along the way.
