Passions
- My greatest passion is WFWC, The Women’s Fitness and Wellness club that I founded and am the President of! I wanted a safe space for girls at Grand Valley to learn how to lift safely and make a few friends along the way. My ongoing goal is to create a close-knit community of women at GV who enjoy exercising as much as I do, and it’s been a blast. I love teaching lifts, and making connections with other girls. This has been the most rewarding thing I have ever done, and I plan on making it my legacy!
- Softball, For the last twelve years of my life all I knew was softball. From T-ball to being the Captain of Varsity High School Softball, to being a coach, how to work as a team, and achieve goals together. I am so grateful for this sport because being involved allowed me to be taught discipline, hard work, and a positive attitude despite any odds.
