Kaleena came to Santa Barbara in 2009 from Indianapolis, IN, where she studied
Health & Kinesiology at Purdue University while running NCAA DI Cross Country &
Track. Running instilled a desire for coaching which led her to coach at the collegiate and high school levels. In 2016, she found her way onto the local Santa Barbara Outrigger Canoe (SBOCC) team and fell in love with the sport of paddling. She is currently coaching for SBOCC, overseeing their women’s team. Recognizing how much she loved coaching, Kaleena decided to transition back after some time in the corporate world. She’s excited to spend more time teaching and helping others reach their athletic and health related goals, both inside and outside of the gym.
