Health and fitness has given me more than strength, it gave me confidence, voice, and the courage to show up fully in my life. I use wellness as a tool for myself and to show other women that it’s okay to stop shrinking themselves, set boundaries, and step into their power unapologetically. Seeing the version of myself before fitness became a part of my life just goes to show the immense impact that this lifestyle can have on anyone!

I am most known for my competitive powerlifting, and I absolutely love it! However, I’m a firm believer in finding what makes you personally feel good and what you most enjoy, which is why I have also dabbled in boxing, CrossFit, and a variety of things in between! I love finding new workouts and new recipes to try out within my diet to help stay properly fueled and train effectively!

I would use the $20,000 as an investment in my future and my impact. I would put it toward purchasing a home to create stability and security, and I would return to college to pursue a degree in physical therapy. Becoming a physical therapist would allow me to help others heal, move confidently, and live healthier lives. This investment wouldn’t just change my life, it would allow me to give back to my community in a meaningful, lasting way also!
