On a daily basis, I constantly strive to be the best version of myself. In my profession as a law enforcement officer, at any given time, I could receive a call as simple as providing a helping hand to a citizen or as significant as saving a life. My goal is to ensure my fitness and health are at its peak to put other's lives above my own. I also assist others in their overall health and wellness by creating meal plans, holding them accountable, and encouraging them to be their best.

In addition to lifting weights, I aim to utilize functional fitness a few times a week. Sprint Interval Training prepares me to render immediate aid whether it's to catch a fleeing suspect, or to assist an officer in a dangerous situation. Sled pulls with various levels of weights provides me with the strength necessary to transport an injured person. All while wearing my 14-pound rifle plate vest to incorporate cardiovascular endurance and resilience.

Victims of domestic violence hold a special place in my heart due to my first hand experience. I know how dehumanizing domestic violence can be, making victims feel like they have no choice but to go back to their abuser. Due to this, I would donate to a local domestic violence shelter to help a victim in need of resources to provide them with the safety and strength they need to persevere and build a life of their own.
