Nicole Barcroft

As a lifelong athlete and registered nurse pursing doctoral training in anesthesia, my approach to fitness is grounded in science and discipline. I thrive in learning and leading by example when it comes to metabolic health, nutrition, and long-term performance. Prioritizing my health allows me to be fully present, and physically capable so I can show up for others at their most vulnerable state. My passion for health and fitness is shaped by experience and true intention.

I was a three sport athlete my entire life. I was a swimmer, basketball player, and track athlete. I ran the 200m and I pole vaulted. When it was time to hang up the cleats, I found cross-fit. The type of workout that not only tests your cardiovascular endurance, but your mental stamina. While some days training feels impossible, I am grateful to be sore, and also to be in the best shape of my life. I don't rely on motivation, I rely on consistency.

As stated, I am currently in a doctoral program. There has been financial stress in many different aspects being a student and paying for school. I recognize that although this is a burden on me right now, it is temporary. I remind myself that I am the future of our healthcare system, and it will all pay off in the end. This amount of money would be a tremendous help in paying tuition, or even housing/rent for the year. I am beyond appreciative to be apart of this experience!
