Skills Crew Leader

Breakthrough Crew is more than a program—it’s a place to feel supported, encouraged, and free to grow at your own pace.

I’m a licensed Occupational Therapist with 19 years of experience supporting kids, teens, and adults, and over a decade of partnering with families. At Breakthrough Crew, we create spaces where people can move, play, create, and feel truly included—just as they are.

With a background that blends Occupational Therapy, Psychology, Social Sciences, and Communication Arts, Breakthrough Crew programs are designed with the whole person in mind. Through movement, games, creativity, and connection, we build fine and visual motor skills, emotional regulation, and social confidence in ways that feel natural, engaging, and fun.

Breakthrough Crew is all about belonging. Our goal is to create supportive environments where everyone can jump in, try new things, and grow at their own pace. By focusing on the whole person, crew members gain confidence, resilience, and the tools they need to navigate their world—with ease, joy, and a whole lot of heart.

Crew Fit Trainer

Breakthrough Crew began with a simple idea: when people feel supported, amazing things can happen!

With over 11 years as an educator and 7 years as a behavioral consultant, I’ve spent my career cheering on individuals from kindergarten through adulthood. Whether in classrooms, small groups, or one-on-one settings, I’ve had the joy of helping students and families celebrate growth, overcome challenges, and build skills that truly matter in everyday life.

Today, I bring that same people-first approach to my work as a Certified Personal Trainer. At Breakthrough Crew, movement is more than exercise—it’s a tool for confidence, connection, and self-expression. Through goal-setting, consistency, and lots of encouragement, I help individuals and families discover their strengths, try new things, and create meaningful progress at their own pace.

Breakthrough Crew is a place to move, grow, and belong—and I’m so glad you’re here.
