Connect What fuels your passion for health and fitness?

The “why” drives my passion. After throwing hammer and discus in college, I needed more that a weekend WOD to fuel my training. I competed in team sports since adolescence and I wanted something greater than myself and my personal fitness goals to motivate me. I know that I sprint harder on a 4x4 than the open 400 m because I’m handing that baton off. This passion is no different - I’m handing off this torch to the next generation of women! I’m honored to stand with the Valkyrie.

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

A combination of things honestly. Hands down, dancing takes the cake for me every time. There’s something deeply healing about letting the music flow through the body. Music is universal and I see that in special needs camps - what is their highlight of the week?! The big dance! Play footloose and I’ll see you on the dance floor. Otherwise, it’s Highland Games, throwing discus/hammer, CrossFit workouts, Olympic weight lifting, cross training (running, tai chi, yoga, etc). Hybrid athlete!

What would you do with $20,000?

Continue to create the legacy. How many more generations of women need to suffer because of gatekeeping knowledge and wisdom that has been previously passed down for ages? My business plan for my non profit and my sponsors (Kilted Patriot) have focused expansion projects, so the funds would be allocated based on priority tiers. I’m grateful to even be asked these questions. Thank you all for creating and promoting women’s fitness and health! Changing the world, one volume at a time.
