I’m fueled by how fast a workout can change my whole state. When life gets loud, I move—then my brain stops acting like it’s on fire. Fitness helped me regulate, stay steady, and build self-trust the hard way. Now I’m driven to help women feel strong and safe in their bodies, even on messy, imperfect days.
What’s your favorite way to train or stay fit?I stay fit with strength training and yoga. Lifting builds strength for the long game; yoga supports mobility, balance, and recovery so I can stay consistent and upright. It’s my favorite combo for feeling capable in real life—because we all know the real yoga happens off the mat.
What would you do with $20,000?I’d use the $20,000 to build an accessible wellness platform for women—especially those starting over. I’d develop programs that combine fitness, nutrition, and mental wellness, with self-regulation tools and somatic movement for fun, release, and healing. My goal is to help women feel strong, steady, and confident in their own skin—and to fund scholarships to help make that possible. Thanks for this opportunity!
