What fuels your passion for health and fitness?

I think what fuels my passion for health and fitness is to continue to push to be the best version of myself and also to inspire others. Over the years, I have found so much joy and fulfillment in embracing a healthy lifestyle. I have found that it also bleeds into other areas of my life. It has helped me become a better therapist, business owner, partner, family member and friend.

What’s your favorite way to train or stay fit?

My favorite ways to train and stay fit is by doing triathlons, weightlifting, as well as playing soccer. I grew up playing soccer so that was always a big part of my life. I was introduced to triathlon in 2019 when I decided that I wanted to complete a full Iron Man. For me incorporating these three aspects, it provides a great balance for what my goals are but is also diverse enough to where I am always looking forward to the next training session , game or race that I may have coming up.

What would you do with $20,000?

If I were to win $20,000 I would just feel so honored and blessed. One of my big goals that I’m currently working on is to open a wellness center here in Jacksonville, Florida. My sister and I have had this dream for quite some time and this is something that would greatly benefit making that dream become a reality. My main goal would be to invest it back in the community and to make sure I can use this monetary resource to reach as many people as possible.
