ABOUT ME
Sports and athletics have been a part of my life since a young age, but my true passion for health and fitness developed in my early adult years. My younger years were filled with competitive softball in the summers and synchronized skating in the winters. During university I decided to hang up my skates and my ball glove to focus on school, but “just working out” wasn’t quite as interesting as the competitions, games, and practices that I had enjoyed so much.
Eager to find something more exciting in the fitness world, I stumbled into CrossFit for a 6:00am class with nothing but a hope and a dream to find a workout routine I enjoyed. Unbeknownst to me at the time, it was the beginning of a 10+ year passion for the sport.
It was love at first pull-up.
It wasn’t long after I changed my career and decided to work as a coach and personal trainer full time in 2017. Since finishing graduate school in 2023 and then starting as a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), I still aim to keep coaching and CrossFit a priority in my life.
I’ve been fortunate enough to coach at many amazing local gyms in the GTA over the years and will continue to bring that same energy and fire with me to the Polsky community!
My Favorite WOD:
High skill gymnastics.
My Least Favorite WOD:
Anything with deadlifts.
