Connect What fuels your passion for health and fitness?

The drive behind my fitness journey comes from the struggles I faced when I was younger. I battled an eating disorder that caused me to become very underweight. Growing up, I was often made fun of and constantly reminded of my appearance in negative ways. I tried not to let the words affect me, but as anyone can relate, they hurt deeply. Over time, I built the body I once dreamed of, and now I help others who struggle with their body image work toward building their dream bodies too.

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

My favorite way to stay fit is by training four days a week, with two upper body days and two lower body days. I also include 30 minutes of cardio during each workout. I used to compete, but I realized I enjoy the overall health and wellness lifestyle more than competing, so now I focus on staying consistent and tracking my daily macros down to the gram. I work out with a group of girls, and we motivate and push each other to reach our full potential.

What would you do with $20,000?

I would use this opportunity to begin building my brand as an influencer. I’ve always wanted to help people who struggle with their health and fitness, but I’ve felt stuck when it comes to knowing how to get started. This funding would allow me to expand my content, grow my platform, and begin partnering with local companies that I genuinely support.
