I have always loved fitness. It’s who I am. I started working out at age 12. I played sports and started running when I was in my teens and I have not stopped yet! I started CrossFit 4 years ago and recently started hyrox training. I completed my first hyrox doubles in 72 minutes. My daughter is my inspiration as she loved to come with me to the gym every chance she could. She passed tragically 2 years ago and it broke me. I knew then I would never stop training and I do it solely for her memory

I love to run, short runs long runs they all help me even on my worst days. Running is a great way to tackle my anxiety and stress. It helps me unwind after a hard day. I love to get in a good CrossFit or hyrox session as well! Getting in a good pump always lifts my spirits. I love to see how heavy I can get on some lifts. It’s the endorphins that I feel afterwards that keep me coming back.

I would start a foundation in memory of my daughter whom I lost 2 years ago in a tragic accident. I would put the money towards kids and teens coming to a gym, CrossFit, hyrox gym whatever kind of gym they want to attend and focus on their health. My daughter lived to workout with me and she wanted to be there every time I went. It would be an honor for me to open a gym in her memory and bring kids of all age.I will never stop working out because she is with me pushing me every step of the way❤️
