Athletic goals: I’m not very close, but someday I’d love to get a muscle up! I’m starting the second phase of the female body comp track (stack’d) and very excited about it.
I am passionate about: my husband, Marc, and our dogs, Juno and Scrappy. Also my friends and family! I love learning new things (even when I’m not good at them).
Name some things we don’t know about you:
- I have an incredibly immature sense of humor (I am guaranteed to laugh if you say “nuts” or “balls”).
- I went to band camp (I played the French horn)
- I was a spectator at the 2004 Olympics in Greece, I’m pretty sure I saw Sheena
- My favorite crossfit apparatus is chalk
Adventure you are planning: this summer I’m going on two week long family vacations (one with my family, one with my husband’s family), if that’s not an adventure, I don’t know what is.
