Hi, I’m Tara! Originally from Norfolk, UK, I’ve always had a passion for movement and competition, growing up immersed in football (soccer) and karate. After high school, I pursued higher education at both Oxford and Cambridge Universities, before starting a career in Construction, Design, and Management.


Life took an exciting turn when I met my husband—we married, started a family, and spent six wonderful years living in Abilene, Texas. It was there that I discovered CrossFit and nutrition, and it completely changed the trajectory of my life. Being far from home, I found comfort, purpose, and a sense of belonging in the CrossFit community. It helped me stay grounded, healthy, and continually inspired me to become a better version of myself—both physically and mentally.


In 2022, we relocated to Germany, where I found my new home at Teutonic. The energy, commitment, and camaraderie of this community lit a spark in me to step into coaching. I earned my CrossFit Level 1 Trainer (CFL1) certification in Stuttgart, and I’ve been dedicated ever since to helping others reach their fitness goals and build lasting, healthy habits.


As a coach, my mission is to empower individuals to become stronger, more confident, and resilient—inside and outside the gym. I’m passionate about supporting our athletes through their journeys, and I’m honored to play a role in their progress and success.
