Tell us a little about yourself and what got you on the path to CrossFit…

Junior year of high school I went to visit my sister in college and went to a CrossFit class with her. I thought it was a lot of fun and knew that it was something I would eventually revisit once my year-round basketball and soccer days were over. I officially joined my first crossfit gym at home in MA the summer after my freshman year of college (2015), and immediately loved the way it made me feel. I’m beyond grateful that my sister led me to CrossFit, as this sport has provided me with the confidence and resilience that propels me in all aspects of my life.

What keeps you coming back each day?

My 9am, 4:30pm, and occasionally 7am pals (Brian Tavares ranking #1 among those pals).

My drive to grow as a whole entire person and to watch and encourage those around me do the same.

The hope of one day securing member spotlight (✅)

What is your favorite at-home exercise to do?

My favorite at home exercise is gliding on my longboard that is being pulled by my dog who is chasing Ross, as he sprints in front of her holding a treat. Total lung burner for me.
