I first joined Crossfit in 2012, before that I was an avid runner, completing many 10ks and half marathons. I also did obstacle races, like Spartans and mud runs. Once I joined CrossFit my fitness path changed. I fell in love with the barbell. After doing Crossfit for a number of years, I decided I wanted to try Power-lifting. I started competing in USPA power-lifting meets and did well in them. I am currently the CA state record holder for the Deadlift. At a power-lifting meet I was encouraged to try Strongman. I did my first strongman comp in 2018, since then I have competed in many strongman comps all over America including the qualifying and competing at the Arnold in 2025, where I secured a 2nd place finish in the Masters 40+ division. I discovered how strong I am because of Crossfit. Now I use crossfit as a way to keep conditioned while I also train to compete in Strongman. Crossfit is the reason I learned I am a strong woman. It gave me the confidence to try new things. I will continue to do CrossFit to keep myself conditioned for life, I can't imagine my life without it.
After doing CrossFit for 8 years covid hit, and that was my turning point. It was a low for me, as well as a lot of people, I am sure. I had gained a significant amount of weight when everything shut down. I was frustrated and dealing with a lot of anxiety. When the world started to reopen I decided I was done taking my health for granted. I decided I needed to focus more on my physical and mental health. I had to self-motivate while everything was closed and I realized how important the CF community was to me. I decided it was time to use my L1 that I had gotten a few years before and start coaching. After about a year of coaching my L1 was set to expire so I then decided to up the ante, and take my L2 instead of just renewing my L1. Things in my life made a big pivot after I began coaching. I have taken more courses and am going back to school to get my associate in Kinesiology. I have learned a lot about CrossFit, fitness, weightlifting, nutrition, and myself over the past few years, in that knowledge, my love for CrossFit and the community grew by leaps and bounds. Crossfit Watsonville is my chosen family. I look forward to my time there every day, and I feel so lucky that I get to help other people with their fitness journeys as well as continuing to be on mine.
Crossfit and the CF Watsonville community have made a positive impact on my physical and mental health. Going to the gym is the time of day I look forward to most. This is why I am passionate about sharing CrossFit and fitness in general. It is empowering and fulfilling. I want to help everyone to become the best and happiest version of themselves.
