About

I started lifting because I hated running and it turned into the thing that changed my entire life. I compete in powerlifting, I coach women who are afraid of the barbell, and I will talk about progressive overload at literally any social gathering. I'm not the 'eat clean train dirty' type — I had a donut this morning and I'll probably PR tomorrow. If you want someone who's going to be honest about the grind without making it your whole identity, I'm your girl.
