I was born…
in a small town in Wisconsin on the Minnesota boarder, but have spent most of my adult life living in Downtown Chicago for the past 7 years. I just recently moved to Scottsdale to open up BODI -Scottsdale’s Newest High Intensity, Strength & Conditioning Group Fitness Gym!
My favorite things about Arizona are…
the weather, the sunshine, the mountains and the sunsets! Absolutley beautiful! Oh, and happy hour!
I’m listening to…
When I just want to chill out I listen to Pancha Massive, Brandon & Leah, or chill lounge music. Otherwise, when I’m working out or going out I’ve been mostly into electronic dance music. Of course, I always like some late 90’s-early 2000’s rap (Nelly) haha, who doesn’t?
My family is…
crazy, awesome & loving! Pretty much all of my best and wildest times are with my family. It’s fabulous!
If I could have dinner with anyone, it would be…
wow, this is a tough one! I guess a group dinner with a bunch of female Olympian athletes. I would love to chat about how they got where they are, talk about their favorite ways to train, what their diets are like and just share overall fitness tips! I guarantee it would be a super inspiring dinner!
One thing I cannot live without…
working out, chocolate, wine & eyeliner…Okay, that’s 4 things!
When I was younger I wanted to be…
a backup dancer for Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake, and all the pop stars at that time haha.
I’m inspired by…
other Entrepreneurs. It takes a lot of drive, passion, motivation and guts. I always love hearing how they got started and what advice they have for new business owners.
The one person who motivates me the most is…
my husband. He is my best friend and love of my life! He believes in me and has always supported me in all my decisions. Making him proud is the best thing ever!
If I could change anything in the world, it would be…
that everyone’s wildest dreams came true for those who worked hard and deserved it . (Alright, I guess that’s more if I was a genie haha). Also, world peace… No really though, I get why pageant girls say that as generic is it may sound. It’s so true!
The perfect day would be…
waking up with my husband and climbing Camelback Mountain, breakfast at Breakfast Club, teaching classes at BODI (my gym), hitting up the awesome Scottsdale happy hours, a delicious steak & wine dinner at Mastros, then a movie & dessert on my couch.
My first job was…
working at Dairy Queen with all my Dance Team girls! Such a fun time and so many memories. Good thing we were dancing a lot because we were also eating lots and lots of ice cream 😉
My favorite escape is…
a killer workout, one that leaves me dripping in sweat and feeling totally awesome!
My life is…
full of love, never dull and always an adventure. These past few years have been so incredible that I cant wait to see what the future holds.
I’m currently…
working on the opening of BODI, Scottsdale’s Newest High Intensity, Strength & Conditioning Group Fitness Gym opening January 2014. It’s going to be unreal and nothing like the Scottsdale fitness community has seen.
Always…
believe in yourself, set your goals high and follow your dreams!
Never…
give up! You can do anything you put your mind to. It just takes hard work, dedication and a lot of hustle!
Favorite Quote…
“Go confidently in the direction of your dreams, live the life you’ve imagined” -Henry David Thoreau
Biggest Dream…
To open up my own gym (check) and become the “go to” gym in Scottsdale! Next biggest dream – to have an awesome house on Camelback Mountain and live a chill yet exciting meaningful life.
My Pet Peeve(s)…
People who complain about something, but don’t try to do anything to fix it. You only live once, make it amazing!
