Connect What fuels your passion for health and fitness?

What fuels my passion for fitness is the ability to grow and become a better version of myself every day. In the gym, it’s me vs. me—I choose to show up for myself and rebuild my confidence rep by rep. I learned early on that how I show up today shapes my future self. Health and fitness have no age limit; the structure I build now stays for life. After my back injury and hospitalization, rebuilding from the ground up forged the strongest, most confident version of me.

What’s your favorite way to train or stay fit?

My favorite way to train today is weightlifting, but my love for movement started early. I played high school soccer, swam on my school and travel teams, evented my horse at the national level, and played high school tennis before continuing in college. I learned there are many ways to move your body and stay healthy, but lifting weights is what built my strongest, most confident self.

What would you do with $20,000?

Winning $20,000 at 25 years old would be truly life-changing. It would give me the opportunity to put a down payment on my first home, something that otherwise, might not be possible. This opportunity would allow me to take a major step forward in building the life I’m working so hard for. I work hard now so that I will be able to give back to those who are in need in the future.
