Tell us about the community at CrossFit Awaken
A God filled inspirational box that glorifies the Lord in everything we do. We focus on being a positive influence and uplifting to our clients and leading them by example.
What’s the most common mistakes you see among new athletes at your affiliate?
Patience, body awareness, coordination, and poor nutrition I believe in proper nutrition and being well rested. Our bodies are machines and will handle anything you give it and will adapt to the training as long as you give your body what it needs to run its best.
If you could give someone new to CrossFit just one piece of advice, what would it be?
Find balance in life, workouts, etc… too much of anything can be poison. Have fun and enjoy the ride.
Would you share with us your favorite tip or cue that we might find useful to use in our training?
Mobility is key, it is not the workouts or movements that cause injury it is are lack of mobility and flexibility to have proper technique in those movements that cause injury.
Do you have any success stories among your athletes you’d like to share?
The definition of success is “The achievement of something desired, planned, or attempted.” Each one of us is a success story. If you are a dedicated CrossFitter that shows up on a daily basis and works through these brutal WODs, that in itself is a success story.
If ‘Chris Brown’ was a WOD, what would it be?
“Sampson Strength” – All weight and ALL HEAVY
What’s your biggest goat and what are you doing about it?
Gymnastics. At a body weight of 215 it takes a lot of extra work to carry that load. Working on it every day to get stronger and stronger.

Since I started Crossfit in April of 2011, I have learned to love the “Sport of Fitness.” So much so that when I am not teaching 7th & 8th graders, I am teaching others to love the “Sport of Fitness.”
My athletic experience prior to Crossfit includes softball through middle school and high school, one year of track in high school, running, and 3 sprint triathlons. I am an active person and I find it hard to sit still for any period of time. In my personal time I enjoy spending time with my boyfriend doing things like mountain biking, hiking, playing with our 3 dogs, camping, off-roading, going to the beach and motorcycle riding.
My mission as a trainer is to encourage, empower and influence those around me to reach their maximum potential athletically, mentally and nutritionally by providing quality, consistent and effective coaching.
Crossfit has changed my life in so many ways (be sure to read my testimonial) and I am excited to bring that change to others through coaching.
