I have been in the Oly world now for 10 years! I began as an athlete, obtained my Lvl 1 back in 2022 and am now a lvl 2 under USA Weightlifting. I am part of our MINN-DAK WSO Board and love to help organize and run meets.

I also enjoy helping Referee. I believe that our athletes receive the attention they deserve and honest feedback to help them excel at these incredible lifts! Oly also gets to be fun!! So, let go of the ego, focus on the movements, and allow those numbers to go up naturally!

I am also here for hugs and will be the loudest cheerleader in the room!

Head Coach Elli

I work with athletes of all levels—from competitive weightlifters to those who’ve never touched a barbell—and I’m passionate about guiding you through your Olympic Weightlifting journey.

I’ve been involved in athletics my whole life, including football, baseball, curling, and rugby. After years of competing in Olympic Weightlifting, I earned my USAW Level 1 Coach Certification in August 2025 so I could share my love for the sport with as many athletes as possible.

I love helping people learn new skills, refine their technique, and become the strongest versions of themselves. Whether you need help with your snatch or just someone to listen—or give a hug—I’m here for you.
