I love competing in CrossFit and weightlifting and have done many local competitions over the years. I competed in my first sanctioned weightlifting meet in July, 2016 (Albany CrossFit) and most recently at NY State Championships in October, 2021 (Syracuse).
In early 2021, I decided I wanted to start incorporating endurance events into my fitness regimen. I completed my first half marathon in September 2021 (Maple Leaf Half). Since then, I completed a second half marathon (Mohawk to Hudson), marathon (Upstate Classic), and multiple triathlons including sprint (Lake George), half Ironman (Tupperlake Tinman), and Ironman (Lake Placid) distances.
I am the type of person that will run a 5k (or 10k) on Thanksgiving.
Qualifications
I obtained my BS degree in Dietetics (SUNY Oneonta, 2015) and MS degree in Applied Nutrition (Sage Graduate School, 2018). I received my Registered Dietitian credential in 2019 and have worked at various healthcare settings including an outpatient cancer center, rehabilitation center, hospital, and long term care facilities over the last 5 years.
After doing CrossFit for ~10 years, I decided to obtain my CF-L1 certification in November, 2023.

About Coach
I have always been passionate about health and fitness. Growing up and throughout my undergraduate years, I swam competitively. I was honored to call myself captain of my high school team. My decision to continue swimming throughout my time at SUNY Oneonta was one of the best decisions I ever made. It was during that time, that I learned what it truly meant to work hard and achieve great things. I am most proud of my athletic accomplishments, including SUNYAC Conference Champion in the 100 backstroke and in doing this, setting a new school record; SUNYAC Medalist in the 200 backstroke, 400 medley relay and 800 free relay; First Team All-Conference honors; SUNYAC All-Academic Team; and being awarded MVP my senior year. A few years after retiring from swimming, I returned to my high school as the Head Swim Coach of the Girls Varsity team from 2017-2019.
I discovered CrossFit in the summer of 2014 kind of by accident. My parents were doing construction on the CF gym I eventually joined, Collar City CF. I remember them giving me a pamphlet and encouraging me to try it. I thought, “okay, I’m athletic enough, let’s check this out.” Little did I know, it would become such a huge part of my life. After that summer, I returned to college to finish out my last year, where I had the most success in swimming. Immediately after graduating, I resumed CrossFit and have been practicing it ever since.
