I am 26 years old and originally from Massachusetts. In 2022, I graduated with my B.S. in Psychology from Bridgewater State University with the goal of becoming a Marriage & Family Therapist. Following that, I was admitted to a graduate program, and accepted the offer to pursue my Masters. However, I rescinded my own admission when I decided to pursue powerlifting coaching instead. My heart is in powerlifting coaching, and I knew that the complete shift in career path was something I was willing to work towards entirely. It wasn’t until later that year when I decided to unite with Co-Founders Chris and Andy to start Triumph Strength & Performance as a business. Immediately upon teaming up, everything has been going phenomenally, and we have created a serious & organized business that I am very proud of. Coaching has been my priority ever since.

Over the past few years, I have dedicated my time to becoming the absolute best powerlifting coach that I can be. The rate of which I was progressing as a coach allowed me to quit the job I had at the time in 2023 and pursue this passion full-time. That being said, online powerlifting coaching is now what I have dedicated my life to. I am determined to constantly improve upon every quality of powerlifting coaching out there, whether it be improving upon analysis of training videos, matching lifter psychology, learning more about biomechanics, improving upon strategies to individualize a lifter’s programming, creating a long term plan for a meet prep, outreaching/networking with other coaches, etc.

I consider myself personable and friendly, yet hard-handed and blunt when needed. I believe that I have ample experience working with numerous demographics which has prepared me for situations which require different problem-solving approaches. I always make sure to meet a client’s personality where it is, and make sure to treat everyone fairly and equally.

I take my job very seriously. When a client is putting their training in my hands, it is entirely up to me to do everything that I can on my end to maximize their performance as an athlete. I do not take this for granted. 

I am a firm believer of finding what works for a specific individual through trial and error. This is going to look different for everyone. I place high emphasis on programming around lifter psychology, gathering a strong set of data over time that leads us to solving problems over time. I am very data oriented and pay close attention to trends in performance, and am a firm believer in continuing to do what works once we find it, while keeping training enjoyable.

That being said, this process cannot be done without high quality effective communication between the coach and the athlete. This is why I have such a comprehensive communication system — even from the first onboarding call with an athlete, I always make sure to emphasize the details to my system of communication and why each detail is being implemented. I also believe that finding what works in an athlete’s training is based on collecting high quality data and keeping records of that data as well. Referencing periods of training that were successful/unsuccessful is easy when things are diligently kept track of. So in short, I have a very communication-oriented system to base my problem solving strategies around, and make sure to keep expectations clear with that.

Collaboration is also something that I view highly. Over the years, I’ve come to appreciate meeting athletes where they are in terms of their goals and their level of confidence with steering part of the ship. I’m always going to do what I feel is best for a lifter, but that will not come at the cost of pushing them with “my way or the highway”. I love educating the athletes that I coach and helping them become autonomous, self-aware, and resilient versions of themselves.
