Tell us about yourself…. I grew up in Hyde Park and now live in Smithfield. I married my sweet husband Justin 5 years ago. We have two wonderful kids Ava-3 and Elliott-17 months. Ava loves coming to CrossFit. She often wakes me up at 3:00 or 4:00 in the morning and says, “Mom, it’s time for us to go to the gym.” Usually I can get her to go back to sleep, if not she comes with me. I have been CrossFitting for 6 months now and love it.
What is your day job? I am an RN for Access Home Care and Hospice

How were you introduced to CrossFit? I have a couple of friends that do CrossFit in Logan and love it. I looked up CrossFit online and found IoTA here in Smithfield and came down that Saturday and have been hooked since.
What is your favorite WOD or Lift? Favorite WOD probably Fight Gone Bad. I’m a whimp so I’m not big into lifting.
What is your favorite skill/movement that you have learned at CrossFit IoTA? Pullups.
How has CrossFit changed your life? Everything about CrossFit is so positive I love starting my day there.
What keeps you motivated and coming back for more? I have so much room for improvement and so many skills/movements to learn. I keep coming back because I am addicted.
What’s something you know now that you wish someone would have said to you when you started CrossFit? I wish I had known sooner about the Pull-up workouts on the back board.
