Connect What fuels your passion for health and fitness?

Growing up around the gym through my dad and discovering rugby showed me how keeping fit builds both confidence and self-discipline. Lifting and training helped shame who I am as an athlete and a leader. Health and fitness empower me to push limits and stay strong both mentally and physically and I want to help others do the same.

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

My favorite way to train is definitely heavy lifting and running. As a Division 1 rugby fullback, I love training for power, explosiveness, and endurance. I am a very good distance runner and I enjoy it because it makes me more mentally resilient and dedicated. The gym is my reset and combining strength training with conditioning keeps me motivated and competitive.

What would you do with $20,000?

I would use it to help pay for my college education and career by earning certificates in nutrition and personal training, while supporting my athletic development. This way I can continue doing what I love most which is playing rugby at such a high level and learning about my biggest interests. I would also use the platform and my social media to continue promoting women’s sports. I’d give back and helping young athletes like myself gain access to fitness and resources.
