• Coaching: For the past 6+ years I have been involved in the sport of Crossfit as an athlete and recently as an assistant coach with WeHeart Fitness for daily workouts and online sessions during the Pandemic.
• Dog handler/ trainer: Actively involved in basic obedience training with dogs and an experienced trainer two days a week for the past 4 years.
• Outdoor activities: Help to plan and execute team-based hiking excursions with friends and family.
• International travel: Make and plan annual trips to different countries to experience new cultures.

I enjoy being active and being outside and having a dog helps me do that. For the past 6 years especially through the Pandemic both have been key to keeping me mentally happy and physically fit. Being involved in a dog training club has taught me to be brave and unafraid not just on the field with other dogs or in front of a crowd but in everyday life as well. It is especially rewarding to know that I can be an example for other women who would want to participate in what may be considered a male dominated sport/ activity. Finally, I am a huge advocate for CrossFit and its methodology: - constantly varied, high-intensity, functional movement, which I believe are key to having a long healthy life no matter your age.
