Connect What fuels your passion for health and fitness?

I didn’t fall in love with health and fitness because it was trendy—I chose it because life demanded strength. Watching my mother lose her sight taught me how precious independence is. Standing beside my ex-husband through his cancer battle showed me how fragile—and fierce—the human body can be. And seeing my children chase and accomplish their dreams reminds me every day why resilience matters. Health and fitness became my way of saying I’m still standing. It’s how I honor the people I love.

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

I enjoy speed walking, bike riding, swimming, roller skating and lifting small weights during the week. I am not where I want to be. I am working on it. I used to be super fit in the past. I was a marathon runner. I went through some medical issues dealing with hormones, personal and work related situations I lost my way. I am surely reclaiming my body, my mind, my spirit and my warrior self to be best version I can be . I want o be an inspiration. Si se puede!

What would you do with $20,000?

I would pay some my son's University tuition. Furthermore. Lastly, I like to establish a $3,000. scholarship award at my old alma mater for university students with learning disabilities like Dyscalculia and Dyslexia to help them attend college. It would be a blessing. XIXI.
