Honor, Courage and Commitment, not only to the Marine Corps., but to CrossFit as well. I served with the Marines for 8 years honorably. While in the Marines I achieved the rank of Sergeant. I was an engineer and a combat instructor and I found CrossFit and earned his CrossFit Level 1 Certification. I have also earned my Endurance Cert., Movement and Mobility Cert. and Gymnastics Cert. I also coached at CrossFit Camp Pendleton and upon getting out of the Marines to help raise my son and follow my dream of owning/running a CrossFit Box I found Natural Selection CrossFit, where I now coach. I plan on changing lives to the max. Along with being a full time student and owner, head coach, and operating manager of Natural Selection CrossFit, I will be there for you. "I am here to help you reach your physical and mental goals. I will forewarn everyone, I am a stickler when it comes down to coaching proper technique and full range of movement. I look forward to coaching you and helping you reach your goals."
I have been involved in local law enforcement for the past 15 years. I was introduced to Crossfit several years ago as a member of a tactical team. I immediately fell in love with the constantly varied, intense workouts and began inviting others to "drink the cool-aid". I became a level 1 instructor and began training people in my garage gym. I found that I loved to see others grow and succeed at reaching their goals. With that goal in mind, we opened Natural Selection Crossfit in September, 2010. The best part of coaching Crossfit for me is watching our athletes work hard and reach their goals, whether that is a 3 minute Fran or one unassisted pull-up. Come see me at Natural Selection Crossfit and let me help you reach your goals.

I started lifting weights mostly on a whim; I was attending Columbia Basin College in Pasco and needed to fill my PE requirement. Of course, most students who sign up for the school gym for credit sit on the bikes or walk on the treadmill while studying or talking on the phone. I wanted to do something different. Something I’d never done before. Something hard. I learned to press, squat, deadlift and jump rope. I was one of maybe three women who used the weights in the school gym and loved it. I worked steadily and after a couple of months got my first pull-up! When I found CrossFit I was amazed at how quickly my strength and speed improved. I loved being part of a community dedicated to testing their limits, helping each other and working hard.
I have worked as a wildland firefighter for three seasons, built and repaired trails all over Washington, and set the UPA Washington State record for the Bench Press and Deadlift in my class. You don’t need to be the top performer in the gym to see the results of CrossFit. Something amazing happens in one’s mind after the first pull-up, the first bodyweight back squat, and so on. The physique we build in CrossFit is nothing compared to the mindset. I work at Natural Selection CrossFit because I want to help people push beyond their self-imposed limits, and see what they are truly capable of.
