Jennifer started doing CrossFit workouts in 2016 when her wife needed a partner for a competition. Ever since that first competition, she has been hooked on CrossFit. In 2018, her military unit decided to send her to Master Fitness Trainer school, and that is when she began to love coaching. In 2019, she became CF-Level 1 and began coaching the morning classes at CrossFit Republic, in Republic, Missouri. After one year of coaching around 8 classes a week, she went for her CF-Level 2 and set her sights for becoming a CrossFit Coach (CF-LV4) in the future. She also worked on and became a Certified Personal Trainer through National Council on Strength and Fitness as well as a Certified Nutrition Coach through National Academy of Sports Medicine. She also become a PoundFit Professional (think Zumba with drumsticks) and dabbled in the art of aerials (specifically silks and the lyra).
In 2020, Jennifer and her wife, Tess moved to Austin, TX just before heading out for a deployment to Iraq with her Army Reserves unit in 2021. Three months after returning from the deployment, Jennifer suffered a ruptured aneurysm with led to a subarachnoid hemorrhage. After about 8 months of recovery and trying to show the neurologist that she would, in fact, be an athlete again, she decided it was time to start coaching CrossFit again, the first time since moving to Austin. She joined CrossFit REP in August 2023 and has been coaching there ever since. She coaches the morning classes and is happy to sub in whenever possible.
