My passion for fitness originates in my journey as an athlete which fostered dedication and resilience. Exercise has been my constant, guiding me through dark times , helping me overcome an eating disorder, and leading me to discover my mental and physical strength. Achieving milestones in the gym and seeing the physical results of my hard work fuels my confidence and promotes feelings of empowerment. My passion is to help cultivate self confidence and empowerment within my clients as well.

I LOVE strength training- it is a testament to how strong and capable we are. Seeing the direct results of my effort is pretty awesome. Though that’s my favorite purposeful workout, what I love most are all the ways that fitness can be incorporated into our everyday lives—from walking to yoga, hiking, and sports. I believe that living a balanced life, doing what makes you happy and having a diet with fresh food and the occasional sweet treat, you are truly able to live life to the fullest.

$20,000 would be an absolute game-changer. I’m currently juggling two jobs alongside fitness coaching, so winning would let me prioritize my fitness company, which is where my passion lies. Like many moms, I often put others first. With this, I'd focus on personal growth and development, to help empower other busy moms and women like me. $20,000 means expanding my business, reaching more women, and making a meaningful impact in the lives of others.
