Connect What fuels your passion for health and fitness?

My passion for health and fitness is fueled by the desire to stay strong, energized, and present while balancing the demands of family and a career. Prioritizing my well-being allows me to show up fully in every role I hold. Fitness gives me resilience, mental clarity, and confidence, helping me manage daily responsibilities while building a sustainable, healthy lifestyle that supports both my personal and professional life.

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

My favorite way to stay fit combines metabolic training, weightlifting, and running. I love the balance of strength, endurance, and high-energy workouts—it challenges my body, boosts my stamina, and keeps every session exciting. This mix not only builds muscle and burns calories but also strengthens my mental focus, giving me energy to tackle both daily life and long-term fitness goals.

What would you do with $20,000?

As a mom, homeowner, and PE teacher, $20,000 would be an investment in both my family and my passion for wellness. I could pay off some debt as well as my kids could participate in more activities in the community. A second investment would be opening my own gym geared towards kids/athletes. A safe, energetic space where movement is fun, confidence is built, and healthy habits start early. The focus would be on age-appropriate strength and cardio to prepare them for success.
