About India: She was born in Pennsylvania but moved to Columbia, MD when she was in elementary school.  She got into fitness as a teenager for fun by going to the gym with her dad and soon became interested in improving her health. Her interest in fitness has only grown since starting CrossFit.

She recently started a new job as an Information Security Analyst and while it can be hectic, it's also very rewarding. She's a self-proclaimed huge nerd so she's usually gaming or reading in her spare time.

What made her want to be a coach?  CrossFit has become an important part of her life. She wanted to give back to the community where she can. Coach Hanh gave me the initial push I needed to go for the L1.

What’s the most rewarding thing about being a coach?  This is a completely new experience, so I think just about everything will be rewarding. I'm excited to get the chance to grow and improve as a coach.

What’s her favorite movement? Burpees and anything on the echo bike!

What’s her favorite workout? Cali Bear or anything with burpees.

What contributes to her success at BCCF? Other than the coaches and the community, the varied programming keeps her motivated and excited to see what workouts are programmed for the week. Before CrossFit, her fitness routine was fairly routine and boring so BCCF’s programming keeps things interesting.

What’s her advice to our members? If you want better and good results at the gym, get good sleep. It's one thing I'm still working on.

What can we find you doing when you’re not at the gym? Playing video games or hanging out with my family and friends. I also want to travel a bit more so I'm taking my first trip to Europe next year.
