Health and fitness shaped who I am. I grew up playing sports and fell in love with discipline and being part of a team, which led me to serve in the U.S. Army. While serving, I was diagnosed with cancer and had to step away from that identity. After a miscarriage and then welcoming our son, I chose to become a mom who loves herself and never quits. In the last two years, I’ve lost over 100 pounds. I chase progress, not perfection.

CrossFit at Power Alley CrossFit is my favorite way to train because it challenges me mentally and physically and gives me the same sense of teamwork and belonging I loved in sports and the Army. The community pushes me, supports me, and celebrates every small win. I also run to clear my head and stay grounded. Training helps me show up stronger for my family and for real life, not just competition.

I would use this opportunity to give back to the community that helped build me by supporting Power Alley CrossFit and helping strengthen spaces that bring people together, including our local recreation department and its efforts to build a community facility. I would also invest in my family, because my husband and my son deserve the stability, experiences, and future we are working so hard to build together.
