I learned early on that movement quality is king. I believe becoming a better athlete starts with building a strong foundation. My focus is on helping you improve your strength, speed, power, coordination, conditioning, and overall movement efficiency so you can perform better in your sport. I'll work with you to identify your strengths, recognize areas for improvement, and develop a training plan specific to your goals. Beyond physical performance, I want to help you build confidence and build an understanding of why we train the way we do. My goal isn't just to help you become a better athlete today, but to give you the tools to continue improving long after our sessions together.

Every session is structured with a purpose and tailored to your age, experience, abilities, and goals. We'll typically start with a dynamic warm-up to prepare your body for the work ahead, followed by movement development, strength training, speed or power work, and conditioning when appropriate. Throughout the session, I'll provide hands-on coaching, clear instruction, and feedback to help you move efficiently and understand the purpose behind each exercise. While I believe in working hard and challenging yourself, quality movement and proper progressions always come first. My goal is for you to leave each session feeling challenged, accomplished, and confident in your progress.

I'm a former Division I women's ice hockey player at The Ohio State University (2009–2013), where I earned a full athletic scholarship, served as an assistant captain, and received several athletic and academic honors, including the Big Ten Outstanding Sportsmanship Award. Following college, I transitioned into competitive CrossFit and have since competed at the CrossFit Games six times, earning a career-best ninth-place finish in 2024.

I've been coaching since 2016, with experience in group training, private coaching, youth athletic development, and individualized strength and conditioning programming. I currently serve as the Head Coach and Gym Manager at Great White Conditioning & Fitness in New Jersey and as a remote coach and programmer for Misfit Athletics.

I've previously earned certifications through CrossFit (Level 1 and Level 2), USA Weightlifting, and Precision Nutrition, and I'm currently pursuing my Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) certification through the NSCA.

The best coaches I've had throughout my athletic career were the ones who took the time to build a personal relationship with me and genuinely cared about my development, both as an athlete and as a person. They taught me that nothing is given and that you have to earn your position on the ice or competition floor through hard work, consistency, discipline, and accountability. They challenged me to take ownership of my performance, embrace competition, and understand that confidence isn't something you're simply given; it's something you build through preparation and putting in the work.

More importantly, they helped me learn how to carry myself with confidence, represent myself with pride, and develop a sense of character that extended far beyond athletics. Those lessons shaped not only the athlete I became, but also the person and coach I am today. I strive to have that same impact on the athletes I work with, helping them understand the value of earning their opportunities, believing in themselves, and carrying that confidence with them both on and off the ice or competition floor.

I genuinely care about the athletes I work with, both as athletes and as people. I believe in creating a positive, encouraging environment where athletes feel comfortable asking questions, making mistakes, and learning through the process. I'll challenge you, hold you accountable, and encourage you to step outside your comfort zone, but I'll also celebrate your progress along the way.

I understand that every athlete develops at a different pace and that success looks different for everyone. My goal is never to compare athletes to one another, but to help each individual recognize their own potential and continue moving forward. I value open communication, trust, and building relationships with both athletes and their families. Above all, I want training to be something athletes look forward to and an experience that helps them grow in confidence, character, and athletic ability.
