Where did you grow up?
I grew up in a now not so little town of Medford in Southern Oregon. Even though I was born in Southern California, my heart will always belong to Oregon.
What are your hobbies (besides CrossFit)?
I enjoy anything that has to do with the outdoors. Camping, hiking, off roading, and anything or everything that involves water. I grew up loving and enjoying every sport, especially basketball. During fall season my husband and I look forward to college football games!! Let’s go ducks!!!!
What is your occupation?
I have worked in the billing department for Sonora Quest Laboratories in Tempe for 6 years now. I’m sorry in advance for any bills you have received from us.
How were you first introduced to CrossFit?
Mikey V and Jaclyn are the two who gave me the confidence to get my butt into the box. I have always been interested in crossfit, but thanks to their little push and being introduced to the blade family I was hooked !! I love everyone I have had the privilege to meet and work out side by side with.
What is your favorite WOD/movement?
I would have to say, surprisingly, the hang snatch. I love that movement even though I am new at it.. It suits me .
What is your least favorite WOD/movement?
Hmmmm.. My least favorite I would have to say is wall balls. So simple yet my biggest mental weakness. Hard for me to keep digging to push through.
What CrossFit accomplishment are you most proud of?
My biggest crossfit accomplishment would be taking my first couple steps in handstand walks. I am becoming so much more comfortable upside down and trusting my shoulders. Hand stand push-ups I am coming for you!!!
What is your favorite song to WOD to?
Ultimately Frankie’s punk mix. Although Chris’ Britney Spears gets me all fired up Frankie’s jams are in my genre.
What would you like to accomplish next through CrossFit?
This is a hard question to answer really. I want to grow in all areas that crossfit has to offer and be more involved in the Blade family. I am eager to learn and take as much as I can from what the coaches and other Blade members have to offer. I will be pleased when I’m able to do the rx prescribed workouts. .
I love… I eat…. I will… I am…
I love my husband and my fur babies, they are my world. I love the circle of friends I have made and all the beautiful people at Blade that I have been so blessed to meet.
I eat basically everything.. Almost every hour. I am always hungry .
I will always be that person who has to hug you when I meet you. And I will always try my hardest at all the things I do!!
I am thankful for all the people who are in my life and all the people who have opened their arms to have me apart of theirs.
