About me:

Hi! I’m a project manager by day, [solidcore] coach by night, and I fell into coaching the same way everyone does: by playing a fitness coach in a musical and reverse method acting my way into a real job! Ok, that may have just been me, but in my defense I was taking Elle Woods’ advice: “exercise gives you endorphins, and endorphins make you happy!” I try to bring that level of positivity and enthusiasm to each and every one of my classes!

I love my family and friends, and I think my dog Phoebe is the best dog in the world. I’m MN born and raised, grew up in Edina, and graduated from St. Olaf College with a degree in French and Music (if you want to call me a cake eater, I’m happy to prove it – my favorite flavor is chocolate). With a background in music and dance, I’m always striving to get just the right beats and flow throughout the entire 50 minutes, and am always open to new music recs, especially if you’ve got a good Taylor Swift or Beyonce remix! When to come to my classes: hamstring day, your birthday (my playlists are astrology themed), or anytime you need to harness your inner Elle and show someone how valuable you can be!

Favorite [solidcore] exercise:

single leg straight leg deadlift (extra points for extra springs)

Guilty Pleasure:

Real Housewives + Astrology (minus the guilt)

Outside of [solidcore] you can find me:

singing (screaming) Taylor Swift and musical theater bangers, hanging out with friends and family and my puppy, binging TV or movies on the couch, and enjoying nice wine or a craft cocktail

Zodiac Sign:

Taurus sun / Gemini moon / Scorpio rising
