Your athletic background

 

I ran track and played basketball all throughout high school. I continued my track career at East Stroudsburg University as a 60-meter, 100 meter, and 200 meter sprinter and a hammer/weight thrower.  During the time of Covid I transferred to Warner and focused on internships and school!  

How did you find CrossFit?

I joined a CrossFit gym in my hometown as a freshman/sophomore in high school, but I was not taught the proper ways to do the movements and ended up injuring myself and moving on to more typical weightlifting.  As I got older, graduated college, and began life in the real world, I wanted to find a way to train like an athlete and be a part of a community. Then I found CrossFit BNI, learned how to do CrossFit the proper way and became a part of an AMAZING community and fell in love.

Favorite CrossFit Movement

• Gymnastic movements: Muscle ups or handstand walks
• Olympic Movement: Squat Cleans
