5. Why did you join Fit4mom?

When I had my oldest son, I was a young Mom and I did not have Mom friends for myself or kid friends for my son. I wanted to find a community. I had always heard “it takes a village” but never found that village. I was a single Mom for most of my older son's life, until my husband joined our family. When we had our second, I wanted to make sure I had community. I was pregnant and postpartum during covid needing to find a form of fitness that made sense with my life. I had spent so much time with minimal movement. Finding FIT4MOM provided me with peers, community, movement and more. It has truly helped me connect with myself, body, mind, and other amazing Mother's and kids. I am so grateful to help create a space for others to connect with their needs, their bodies, and community.

6. What was your prior job?

I worked as a para educator in special education in an elementary school. I also worked as a respite care provider.

7. What's your favorite exercise?

Running

8. What are you passionate about?

My family, building community, exercise, painting, dancing, animals and watching people I care about explore and do what they love.
