ROLE: EVENTS MANAGER

Who are the members of your family?

My husband, Steven, and my two young sons:

• Rohan (3 year old) in preschool
• Akshay (little guy, 8 months old as of April 26, 2023)

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

My parents were living in Davis, CA when I was born; however, I grew up in Doylestown, PA (outside of Philadelphia). I moved to Philadelphia for college, which is where I met my husband. We lived in Philadelphia for a total of 10 years before moving to the Bay Area in late 2011.

How did you find FIT4MOM Sunnyvale-Mountain View?

Fit4Mom found me! I was on a walk in Cuesta Park with Akshay (10 weeks old at the time), and Rachel and some of the fabulous mamas said hello and introduced themselves.

They were all so nice and encouraging, so I took a free class the following week, and never looked back!

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

Whether it is through one of the fabulous classes, partnerships with other brands and companies in the community, or our special events, I love that this team shows up for each other, steps up to help, and finds joy in supporting moms and their families.

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

I left my professional career over a year ago, so I am excited to be a part of a team that cares about making a positive difference in the community. Fit4Mom is not just about a great workout, but a holistic approach to family, connection, health, and a strong community.

What is one of your current wellness goals?

I strive to incorporate some sort of movement everyday, even if it is a 20 minute walk after the boys fall asleep. I switched over to low-impact movement, so I can keep my lower back and knees healthy. Also, I try to drink more water!

Do you have a hidden talent? What is it?

My love of pop culture! Pop Culture trivia is my jam! I am not as knowledgeable now, but I still take time to listen to a great, weekly pop culture podcast.

What is your most used item for your workouts?

Right now it is a band that we use in Stroller Strides and my stroller as a barre. I recently purchased a compact treadmill, which has been great way for me to go on walks while the boys are napping or after bedtime. I also use an app called FitOn for their meditation sessions.

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

I was never part of a mama-baby group when my first son was born, so I truly feel grateful that Fit4Mom found me (and Akshay).
