“I shall either find a way or make one.”
Tell us how your winning photo came about.
My boyfriend is a photographer/videographer, and we did this quick, impromptu shoot.
Please briefly share your fitness journey with us.
Health, wellness, and fitness have always been my passion. I did a ton of sports when I was younger and ended up going to run track and field at a D1 university (watch video above). When my running days were over, I felt like I lost a part of myself having something I loved so much come to an end, which I notice many student-athletes go through. I got in the gym, created new challenges, and found something I was just as passionate about!
We believe fitness + friendship = FUN! What is your favorite group fitness workout?
I love variety in my routine and love community, so anything from pilates to hot yoga to a hardcore boot camp class.
While working out is essential, so is eating the right foods. What is your go-to pre-workout meal? How do you refuel after a workout?
Pre-workout, I like protein oats and packing them with nuts, seeds, and fruits for more nutrients. After a workout, I love a good salmon dish with rice and mixed roasted veggies.
What is one item that is always in your gym bag?
Bands! I use these to warm up, during my workout, during my cooldown and all the above.
What are your top 3 fitness Instagram accounts to follow?
What is one thing people would be surprised to learn about you?
I’ve been to over 20 countries and have in-depth knowledge of many cultures. I have published clinical trial human research studies.
What are the top three goals you hope to accomplish in life?
Continue to make powerful impacts in healthcare and impact lives through better health, continue to be successful enough to give back as much as I receive, and do everything in life that I’ve dreamt of.
What do the words PRETTY GIRLS SWEAT mean to you?
There is a stigma that women sweating and working hard on their physical health is something to stay away from, but taking care of our health is glamorous. Women can be all of the things, including being strong and beautiful!
