at the collegiate, semi-pro, and international level. After floundering for months with no training goals, she was introduced to CrossFit. CrossFit began as something that filled that competitive void in her life. It was through CrossFit that she has met some of the most amazing and inspiring people she knows. Sparking an interest in nutrition, kinesiology, and overall strength building, CrossFit has only added to her education and interest in medicine. She is currently working towards her Master’s in Physician Assistant Studies, with an interest and passion for orthopedics. She loves seeing athletes rock really freaking hard and even more so, kicking ass at life in general.
