Mom of twin daughters

Retired elementary teacher

I’m a native of Michigan, a Michigan State graduate and a die hard Spartans fan. I have a Masters in Teacher Leadership from John Hopkins University.

I joined Outsiders in 2014 after an osteoporosis diagnosis with no real “workout” experience. I was hooked after the very first class! Two years later, my new bone density test showed I had reversed my numbers- and now had bone density like that of my age peers or better! The power of weightlifting!!

After 35 years of teaching school, I knew coaching CrossFit and Thrive was my “retirement plan.”

I have both my Level 1 and Level 2 certifications.

I know this is the exact place for me and anyone looking for long term health and fitness.
