Who are the members of your family?

Where are you from originally and how long have you lived in Silicon Valley?

I am originally from Southern California. I grew up in Torrance - right near the beach! I lived in San Francisco from 2007-2010 for undergrad and then made my way back down to the beach for another 3 years. In 2013 I decided on San Jose State for graduate school and I have been here ever since!

How did you find FIT4MOM Sunnyvale-Mountain View?

I was at the library with my son one day and came across the book The Empowered Mama. As I was reading it, I kept thinking “I need this in my life!” After doing some research locally, I found FIT4MOM Sunnyvale-Mountain View :) I feel so lucky!

What is the BEST thing about being a member of the FIT4MOM team?

The sense of belonging. I can absolutely say that I feel supported and accepted for who I am and as a member of the team. Oh, and I get to sweat with really cool mamas!

What is your WHY? Why do you keep doing what you do?

To create experiences that make others feel happier, healthier and more supported. I wake up each day and do what I do because I enjoy supporting others and helping them feel their best.

What is one of your current wellness goals?

To incorporate more strength training into my routine. It can be challenging as a fitness instructor to find time to workout on your own (I know, sounds crazy). I am hoping with more strength training I can keep up with my little guy.

Do you have a hidden talent? What is it?

I can eat 4 bowls of cereal in the morning, no problem. It has to be Special K Red Berries, though.

What is your most used item for your workouts?

My yoga blocks.

Anything else you'd like Our Mama tribe to know?

I feel really honored to be a part of this tribe. I really do.
