WHAT YEAR DID YOU START WEIGHTLIFTING?
2018
WHY DID YOU GET INTO FITNESS (WEIGHTLIFTING)?
I got into fitness because throughout high school, I was never able to find a sport that I liked or felt like I belonged to. So, overtime I discovered CrossFit and only did it for about 2 months till I transitioned strictly to Olympic weightlifting.
WHY DID YOU BECOME A TRAINER?
I became a trainer because of my extensive experience as an Olympic weightlifting athlete. I felt I could transition my love for the sport into coaching, allowing me to share my passion with others. I enjoy teaching and sharing this experience with others.
WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE CROSSFIT MOVEMENT?
My favorite movement in Olympic weightlifting always switches every now and then but I would say clean & jerk, especially when it comes to competitions.
