Lots of places!  I am a navy brat and grew up across the country and eventually landed in Minnesota. 

When did you become a member of Mi5 Fitness? 
Two years ago?

What do you do when you are not at Mi5? 
I am a partner at Barnes & Thornburg, LLP in the Minneapolis office.  My practice is focused on intellectual property law: the protection of ideas and brands, both inside and outside the courtroom. 

In my “spare time,” I am blessed with six children, an awesome husband and a really awesome washer and dryer set. I also love the outdoors and everything you can do in it!  And of course....there’s Crossfit. 

How did you find out about Mi5? 
The amazing sign outside drew me in!

When/How did you realize CrossFit/Mi5 was the right fit for you? 
Right away!  The people are truly kind and welcoming.  

What is your favorite WOD/movement? 
 Deadlifts.  

What is your least favorite WOD/movement? 
​Thrusters. 

What would your perfect WOD look like? 
​Running and running and running.  With deadlifts. 

What is one thing you have been able to accomplish since starting at Mi5 that you never thought you'd be able to do? 
Push-ups!

What motivates you to stay fit? 
It just feels great to be fit!  

What is something about you that Mi5 members do not yet know? 
I bake an exceptional pecan pie.  

What advice would you give to someone just getting started at Mi5? 
Jump in and don’t be afraid to try new things. It’s ok to be the last one to finish!  Everyone is there to encourage you to be the best you, and that’s what matters.
