What brought you to Omaha? I’m here for Creighton’s Physical Therapy Program, aiming to become a PT by May 2026!

Why CrossFit? The community! CrossFit is unique because people show up to challenge themselves and support each other. It combines my love for competitive sports with a supportive team environment. Plus, the diverse workouts keep things exciting and always give me new goals to strive for.

Why coach? I’ve always wanted to help others and discovered my passion for health and fitness in high school. Coaching allows me to share this passion. Bill Bowerman said, “If you have a body, you are an athlete,” and I believe it wholeheartedly. Watching others achieve their goals is incredibly rewarding, and I hope to inspire others just as my coaches have inspired me.

Fun facts:

• I can juggle.
• I've read the Harry Potter series at least 10 times.
