I am originally from San Diego and I moved to the big island when I was 17 weeks pregnant with my first baby in 2018. That year was full of changes and adventure! Hawaii was a great decision that my husband and I made after writing pros and cons on a white board. I wish I had found Kona Crossfit sooner; I love this community of people! I work part time as a paramedic on the island and I have some background in the fire service.

Ever since I can remember I have been immersed in athletics such as softball, soccer, horseback riding, surfing, gymnastics and dance. I remember actually being embarrassed for being able to do 50 pushups in High School. I wish I had embraced it more back then!

I found Crossfit in 2012 after a really challenging year. One of the first things that I decided I wanted to accomplish was a ring muscle up. As intimidating as it was, I fell in love with Olympic weight lifting and I renewed my love for gymnastics. Some of my friends encouraged me to participate in some local competitions and so many good memories were made. I completed my Crossfit Level 1 course in 2015 and coached briefly in Carpinteria, California. I love fitness because there are so many benefits. I especially love the confidence it gives people when they see just how capable they can be. I love helping people achieve their goals. After finally being able to do a ring muscle up, I decided there was so much more I could challenge myself to do and I have never looked back. I hope to see you at the gym!
