I started CrossFit about nine years ago, shortly after moving to Ocean Pines. Before that, I was a dedicated gym-goer at Lifetime Fitness and an avid runner. Over the years, I completed five full marathons, dozens of half marathons, and more 5Ks and 10Ks than I can count. CrossFit completely shifted my mindset about exercise. It’s no longer about how many miles I run or how many calories I burn—it’s about quality over quantity. For me, fitness is now centered on building strength, moving well, and staying healthy—not just for myself, but for my family too.
My purpose for coaching comes from my own journey. I have never been skinny—I grew up tall and always felt ‘big’ through my 20s, 30s, and even into my 40s. It took time, but I finally shifted my focus from chasing a certain look to pursuing strength, health, and confidence. Now, I believe in training for real life: building strength, improving mobility, and protecting our bodies as we age.
I am especially passionate about coaching people who may not see themselves as the ‘typical athlete,’ those who feel intimidated walking into the gym or have struggled with body image. My motivation is helping them realize that fitness isn’t about being small—it’s about being capable, confident, and resilient. CrossFit’s constantly varied training reflects life itself, and I want to guide others in discovering the freedom and strength that comes with it.
We understand how intimidating it can be to get started on a new fitness journey. But don't worry! We were all once the "new person." It's a scary thing- we get it. But at WCF, we foster a community that is inclusive, compassionate, and empowering. You will never feel alone.
All of our trainers have (at least) an up-to-date CrossFit Level 1 Certificate. We require every coach to go through our thorough on-boarding program and demonstrate proficiency in their craft before ever taking the floor.
We believe in supporting people who are ready to take action and give them everything they need to crush their goals. It's why our members keep coming back for more.
