I began my strength journey in 2012. After training for and completing a half marathon, I decided to focus on building muscle and strength. With David’s guidance, I began strength training using barbells and free weights. For me the effects of strength training went beyond physical gains. It transcended to everyday life through increased confidence. After seeing these results in myself, I felt compelled to promote strength training and began coaching others through the squat, bench, press and deadlift. I found joy in coaching others through the process and seeing them gain confidence.

​I have 3 years practical experience as a strength coach for the general population and competitive powerlifters. To improve my knowledge and experience I have attended several educational seminars including: Iron Sisters Training Camp, the Starting Strength Seminar, Chicago Strength Symposium, the Barbell Medicine Seminar, the Barbell Coaching Academy and Progressive Rehab & Strength’s Programming Fundamentals course. I’ve been strength training for eight years and have competed in 7 powerlifting meets.
