Bio
I'm 30 years old and have been married for 3 1/2 years. I have the worst sweet tooth and love junk food. My husband and I have two dogs and a cat. I love laying out at the beach, swimming in the ocean, walking our dogs, running and being lazy on the weekend with my husband. I had the opportunity to attend San Jose State University on a swimming scholarship. In 2008, I qualified for Olympic Trials in the 100 backstroke. After training for Olympic Trials I immediately started Crossfit and have been hooked ever since. I love competing and I absolutely love training hard and pushing myself to my maximum potential. During the day I work as an accountant for a semiconductor company in Milpitas. With that said, I training early in the morning before work and then again after work. I coach at Crossfit San Jose on Sundays and absolutely love coaching. It makes me happy to see other people accomplish things they didn't know they could. My goal this year is to make it back to the 2015 Crossfit Games.

How I Train
I train with a few individuals. I have my morning training group and my evening training group. It's so much easier waking up at 5am knowing you have people counting on you to train. With that said, despite whether you have a training group or not, the only way you are going to achieve your goals is by hard work, pushing yourself past your limits and not making excuses for yourself. I try to enjoy every moment I am in the gym despite how much pain I might be in as we are all so very blessed to have the opportunity to do Crossfit. Life is short... I try to cherish every moment of every day and strive to be a better person.
