I grew up near Minneapolis and was lucky enough to be involved with a gymnastics gym where I trained until I was 16 years old. From my experience I learned how to communicate with my body and work through risk and fear! After college, my childhood friend Isaac who was the director of the Ninja Program at TCT reached out, and said he needed a coach to help ignite a fire in his students! I had always loved working with kids and my career goals aligned, even if it was in a gym setting. Fast forward to three years later, we have launched our new program where we get to teach over 200 students in the “Art of Parkour”. I am excited to help grow this new community of driven, passionate and wild kids as they learn how to connect with their bodies in a free and encouraging environment. In due time, I still dream of having an outdoor recreation program where students can grow a deeply rooted connection with themselves and the Earth, as I was so fortunate to be taught! ​​
