Kristen has been passionate about fitness and endurance training for over two decades. She has successfully completed 15 half marathons, 2 full marathons, 10 sprint triathlons, and a Half Ironman, bringing both experience and dedication to every workout and athlete she coaches.

She has been involved in CrossFit for the past 10 years and holds both her CrossFit Level 1 Certification and CrossFit Kids Certification. Kristen has also led CrossFit Kids programs at three different CrossFit gyms, where she discovered her passion for helping children build confidence, strength, coordination, and a lifelong love for movement and healthy living.

Outside of the gym, Kristen has spent 24 years teaching in the public school system and is currently a kindergarten teacher in the area. Her background in education, combined with her passion for fitness, allows her to create a fun, encouraging, and supportive environment for athletes of all ages.

When she’s not in the classroom or the gym, Kristen enjoys spending time with her husband and their two dogs.

Kristen is incredibly excited to bring her enthusiasm, energy, and love for fitness to the community at CrossFit NewDawn!
