Mickie has been active all her life, starting in elementary school with swimming, ballet and modern dance.  In high school and college, she played tennis and danced.  As an adult, she learned golf and began to work out at a conventional gym.  After several years of spin and body pump classes, she got bored with that and decided to do obstacle course racing and mud runs for several years.  In 2013, she found CrossFit and was immediately hooked by the challenging gymnastic and barbell movements.  Encouraged by one of her CrossFit coaches, she pursued her Level 1 certificate in 2021 and has since found a new level of enjoyment in sharing CrossFit with people as they go through their fitness journey.  Mickie is a wife, a mom of 3, and a former elementary school teacher.  Currently, she works as a paralegal in a small law office.  She loves to cook, read, paper-craft and watercolor and has recently begun training aerial silks.
