Health and fitness have been the best remedy during tumes of devastating loss, trauma, pressure, stress, and reinvention. Training keeps me grounded, focused, and strong—inside and out. It’s where discipline replaces doubt and fear and I’m reminded daily that I am capable of hard things and worthy of my best effort. It's therapy for me.
What’s your favorite way to train or stay fit?My favorite way to train is progressive strength training paired with conditioning. Lifting challenges me physically and mentally, while running, especially in nature, increases my endurance and focus. Training is my reset—it keeps me strong, disciplined, and connected to my goals. There's something about it that keeps my mind right.
What would you do with $20,000?I would use the $20,000 to create a platform for women who are trying to hold everything together while quietly fighting battles I’ve already faced—healing from challenging relationships, navigating demanding careers, caring for family, and still searching for themselves. When life is overwhelming, health is often the first thing we sacrifice. I want to show women that even in chaos, they can rebuild strength, reclaim confidence, and choose themselves—one disciplined step at a time.
