My fitness journey began as a three-sport athlete at ThunderRidge High School in my hometown of Highlands Ranch, Colorado. Despite my love for athletics and being part of a team, I struggled with my weight for most of my youth. At 17 years old and 251 pounds, I had officially become obese. Over the following year, I would go on to lose nearly 90 pounds while developing a passion for strength training and fitness.
I carried this passion with me to the University of Northern Colorado where I double-majored in Sports & Exercise Science and Nutrition. I spent my summers returning home to ThunderRidge to assist with their strength and conditioning program. I then completed my internship at D1 Sports Training in Denver, where I had the opportunity to work with collegiate and professional athletes, and was hired on as a coach following graduation.
After D1, I continued coaching at Vigor Performance in Loveland where I mentored under Pursuit Sports Performance Coach Joe McKay. During this time I also earned my StrongFirst Level 1 Kettlebell Certification. Most recently, I worked as an Assistant Fitness Manager and Master Trainer for 24-Hour Fitness in Greeley before making my way home to Pursuit!
In my spare time I love to cook, watch movies, enjoy the outdoors, and spend quality time with my fiancé and our three dogs! Join my coaching team today!
