What were you doing before Crossfit?
Running mostly
Tell us something we might not know about you.
I am very, very afraid of heights! Like, freeze in place kind of scared!
What advice would you give someone just starting at Coyote?
Don’t worry about comparing your score to others on the board. Workout with a weight you are comfortable with and worry more about your technique than your final score.
Do you have any special memories/achievements during your time at Coyote?
Learning how to do a double under - thought it would never happen! Plus, Brian can’t do them so I can brag on that one :)
Has CrossFit affected your life outside of the gym?
I have much less anxiety and stress as the workouts have proven to be a stress and anxiety release for me.
Tell us a little about yourself (family, job, sports, interests, etc.)
Married to Brian, 3 sons - Bryson, Brayden, and Brennan. I am a middle school math teacher at MRA, my favorite sport to watch is baseball ,but I played basketball in college. I enjoy kayaking, drawing, and doing home improvement projects. I am an avid (maybe obnoxious) Chicago Cubs fan :)
What were your thoughts after your first WOD?
At least I didn’t throw-up!
What were your goals when you joined Coyote?
Set an example for my boys on living a healthy lifestyle and getting these old knees back to working!
Have you achieved any of these goals??
Yes, our whole family enjoys CrossFit now, and my knees have never felt better. I can run longer and without pain.

Hmmm, think I cheat every meal, but soda is my kryptonite
