Iron Girls

In 2014, I collaborated with fellow CrossFit coaches to found Iron Girls, an afterschool program designed to empower middle school girls through strength training and health education. My colleagues and I coordinated with the Asheville City Schools Foundation’s program, In Real Life, to organize and launch our initiative.

I developed fitness and health education curricula, organized transportation for participants, helped create program evaluations to gauge the success of our interventions, and assisted to establish operation as an non-profit. Once participants enrolled, I served as a its head coach, providing both strength training instruction and health literacy guidance.
