My passion for health and fitness was born from becoming a mom at 42 and realizing I couldn’t keep up with my son at my heaviest. I chose fitness for longevity, energy, and to break cycles of chronic disease in my family. What began as weight loss became transformation, discipline, and purpose. Now training to become a certified personal trainer, I’m proof it’s never too late to rise stronger—for yourself and those watching you.
What’s your favorite way to train or stay fit?My favorite way to stay fit is through structure and consistency. I train six days a week and still work with my personal trainer three days weekly, focusing on quads/calves, glutes/hamstrings, and back/chest. On off days, I train core, arms, and add cardio for a balanced, holistic approach. This routine keeps me strong, conditioned, and continually progressing—physically and mentally.
What would you do with $20,000?I would use the $20,000 to complete my personal training certification and grow my business, helping women over 40 realize they can get fit, strong, and confident at any age. I’d also invest in my son, showing him the value of health and enrolling him in structured activities so he grows up active and strong, creating a legacy of wellness and empowerment for both women and the next generation.
