I have had a very up and down relationship with fitness and exercise. I didn’t consistently, joyfully, exercise until I was 49. I really discovered weightlifting during the pandemic, it's not overly dramatic to say it changed my life. It's given me a great sense of agency and my mental health has never been better.

Outside of work, I am a parent to two teens, part time homesteader, and a member of the Vashon Island School Board, where I serve as Board Chair.

My certifications include the following:

CrossFit Level 1

Precision Nutrition Level 1

NSCA-CPT

Personal Trainer Certificate (Bellevue College)

Trauma Informed Weightlifting
