I’ve been involved with athletics from a young age, including track and field, gymnastics, and cheerleading. Being involved in sports gave me the opportunity to embrace discipline, set goals, and feel strong. Those experiences helped me develop a love for movement and set the foundation for a healthy, active lifestyle that I continue to pursue today.

I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Saint Mary’s University of Minnesota and have held various roles throughout my career, all with a focus on helping others. People have always been at the center of my “why,” and I find true joy in helping others reach their goals.

In 2023, I was introduced to CrossFit and immediately fell in love with Olympic lifting and the confidence that comes from moving a barbell. That passion for weightlifting, combined with my desire to continue helping people, led me to pursue a career in personal training and coaching. I feel incredibly grateful to have turned the things I enjoy most into a meaningful and fulfilling career.

Outside of the gym, you’ll usually find me enjoying walks around Stillwater, searching for beautiful furniture and décor, or spending time with my husband, Zach, daughter, Akaylia, and our two cats, Artemis and Pumpkin.

I’ve been immersed in the fitness world since the 1990s, starting with endurance sports and strength training. My lifelong passion for movement, education, and wellness has shaped my core belief: fitness should evolve with every stage of a woman’s life. I’ve also been involved in CrossFit since 2011, both as an athlete and as a coach, which has become one of the many ways I love challenging myself and others.

With a background in education, I love blending evidence-based science with real-world experience to help women better understand their bodies—especially through perimenopause and menopause. I’m deeply committed to promoting a longer health span, not just a longer lifespan, with a focus on strength, bone density, hormone balance, nutrition, sleep, and stress regulation.

My mission is to empower women to listen to their bodies, stay informed, and redefine wellness beyond aesthetics—focusing instead on strength, vitality, and confidence at every age.

Outside of the gym, I manage a lively multigenerational household with my parents, my recently retired husband, two daughters still at home, and two granddaughters. When I’m not coaching or lifting something heavy—whether it’s a barbell or a 2×4—you’ll usually find me tackling remodeling projects, traveling, or volunteering in Christian ministry.

I’m a dual German-American citizen and speak German fluently—something that comes in handy when I need to be extra persuasive, whether at home or in the gym.
