Growing up, I played volleyball and softball, alongside riding dirt bikes and horses. After high school, I continued to ride horses, but didn't step foot in a gym until I found CrossFit Tempe. I have been a member of this community for 7 years now, and have worked my way up from foundations class, to my one and only competition, to working for the gym. I love having the members of this community as a support system, and having the opportunity to learn and grow through shared experiences.

I was never a good judge of character, nor did I ever feel like I fit in anywhere. I was in abusive relationships, jumping from crowd to crowd, struggling with depression and anxiety, just searching for self-confidence and ways to live a healthy, stable life. Once I started to surround myself with people who had positive impacts on my life, I started to feel my mindset changing. I felt calm, confident, and content. I found my people, my person, and I've been able to live a happy, healthier lifestyle.

Being the social media manager for CFT has led to stronger connections with members, being exposed to new ideas and perspectives, and has helped to make a positive impact on the community as a whole.
