Cottage Grove

I've been working out since 2017., and it has helped me get through a lot in my life. I joined the Marine Corps in 2018 and shortly after I earned my HIIT certification through the military. I love helping others succeed in their fitness journeys and seeing progress among our members. I like watching our gym help others just as it has helped me. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends. I also enjoy going to very scenic areas and admiring nature!

I began my coaching journey in 2018, leading recreational gymnastics classes and quickly discovered my passion for helping athletes move better, feel stronger, and perform at their best. I went on to earn my Bachelor of Science in Pre-Physical Therapy while competing as a Division I pole vaulter at McNeese State University. After college, I continued to grow as a coach, leading the pole vault program at Iowa Central Community College, where I focused on strength development, injury prevention, and technique optimization. When I’m not in the gym, you can find me coaching the Woodbury High School gymnastics team, playing rugby, or training for an ultramarathon.

I started in the health and fitness industry in 2003 . I have been at Anytime Fitness in Cottage Grove since 2007 and LOVE IT! I originally started out in the daycare center at my first club and worked my way up to management. I was born and raised in Cottage Grove, MN. I have been happily married to my husband for over 27 years. We have two daughters and 1 grandchild. In my spare time I love to rollerblade, walk outside and hang out with my family. I enjoy making personal connections with my members and giving them encouragement to succeed. I strive to make the gym a comfortable, clean, happy environment.

With a bachelor's in Exercise Science and certification through NASM since 2011, my passion has been to help our communities get to a healthier place. After linking arms with this wonderful company in 2016, I have not only been able to watch clients and members grow in their journey to become healthier, but I've been able to watch our coaches grow in their practice as well. Every day, our team is stepping up to bring more to the table for the clients they are so invested in. I am a big believer that we all benefit from having support. Even coaches need coaches. Stop by to start or continue your health and wellness journey. I'm excited to see you in the gym working on the things that bring you joy!
