Connect What fuels your passion for health and fitness?

What fuels my passion for health and fitness is watching women realize how capable they truly are. Strength training and proper fueling don’t just change bodies—they build confidence and mental and physical resilience that carry into every aspect of life. I love watching women transition from newbies who’ve never lifted weights to hitting PRs and moving in ways they never thought possible.

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

Strength training with friends! I love pushing my body and feeling myself get stronger. I’m currently training to qualify for HYROX Pro Women’s Doubles, so hybrid training has been my main focus for the past six months. I love the balance of building and maintaining strength through functional training while also dialing in the aerobic and anaerobic demands of HYROX. Don’t get me wrong—I still love Olympic lifting—but being a hybrid athlete is my jam right now.

What would you do with $20,000?

I’d go on a very responsible gym-equipment shopping spree! My classes are full and my space is maxed out, so I’d add two more SkiErgs, another rower, a proper dumbbell storage rack (because the chaos needs to end), an extra sled for HYROX training, and more kilogram plates. Basically—more tools so more people can train hard and safely. And if there’s anything left? Matching fits for my training partner and me for our HYROX Pro debut in Las Vegas this February. Because priorities :)
