I began my journey with Overdrive in 2019, initially as an athlete looking for a new outlet after moving on from basketball and volleyball. It didn’t take long for me to fall in love with CrossFit—the challenge, the community, and the constant pursuit of growth.

During the COVID shutdown, Coach Marco went above and beyond to keep us connected—lending out equipment, programming daily WODs, and encouraging us to film and share our workouts. That time became more than just staying active; it helped me discover a deep love for the sport and showed me how essential health and movement are for mental well-being.

Filming workouts wasn’t just about reps—it became a way to document growth despite the distance, and to capture the joy that comes from pushing through challenges. My connection to CrossFit grew even stronger when my husband joined the Overdrive community in 2021. Now, we train together under the guidance of our amazing coaches and jump at the chance to compete whenever we can!

Over the years, I’ve supported Overdrive’s social media and also helped coach the CrossFit Kids program. What brings me the most joy is highlighting the stories of our athletes—showcasing their journeys, their effort, and their achievements. Seeing their faces light up when they recognize how far they've come is what inspires me to keep the camera rolling.

This year, I hope to bring the Overdrive community even closer through social events and gatherings that help us connect beyond the gym floor—to get to know and support one another better.
