I started my fitness journey at a young age. I always played sports and truly loved the strength and conditioning aspect of each sport. Once I stopped playing competitive sports, I didn’t know how to keep up with that type of fitness in life, so working out didn’t happen anymore. 

Fast forward to my mid-twenties; I was working late hours at a restaurant and the lack of fitness and bad food choices caught up to me. I knew I needed a change and found CrossFit through a friend I ran into at the restaurant.

After the very first class, I just knew CrossFit was something that would make a huge impact on my life. I started coaching at the gym I was attending and eventually was able to open UnCharted CrossFit with my partner and biggest mentor, my mom.

Throughout my 13 years of training experience, I have extended my education with numerous CrossFit courses and personal training certifications. I have also added a husband and three children to my life which has been the biggest reward of all!

We are now coming up on our tenth year at UnCharted and I have found how much I truly love to help others realize that working out can be fun. Helping people experience “firsts” – first rope climb, first 400-meter run, first wall walk – as well as encouraging people to do better – heavier lifts, stronger pulls, faster time – this is what makes me smile the whole time I’m at UnCharted. It can be challenging for our members, but it’s fun to coach them on a path to do more than they even know! This is UnCharted CrossFit!
