My passion comes from reclaiming my health through strength training and sustainable nutrition. I once chased quick fixes—endless cardio and restrictive diets—until I learned to train with intention and fuel my body. Fitness now supports my confidence, mental clarity, and resilience, and I’m driven to help women build strength and self-respect through habits they can maintain.
What’s your favorite way to train or stay fit?My favorite way to stay fit is a mix of strength training and balance work that keeps me strong, grounded, and consistent. I love lifting 5 days a week to build strength and confidence, then layering in yoga for mobility and recovery. I also make time for meditation to reset my mind and stay intentional. And of course, healthy eating is a big part of it—but with balance: I’m absolutely still saying yes to pizza, cheeseburgers, and chocolate.
What would you do with $20,000?With $20,000, I’d officially launch RSTNCE—my dream business since becoming a CPT and nutrition coach. RSTNCE is meant to help women build strength, confidence, and sustainable habits through intentional training + nutrition. I’d invest in creating more programs, better tools, and a platform that makes coaching accessible for busy professionals and all women who need structure, support, and belief in themselves.
