I didn’t really get involved in sports until college when I played some league soccer for fun. Then in 2015 I was introduced to CrossFit and decided to join a gym with both my brothers. I was blown away by the community and how inclusive it is no matter your fitness level.

After college, I moved around a bit and finally re-joined CrossFit once I made it to Austin. This is when I really got involved and learned how to push myself to limits I didn’t know I had. There is nothing quite like the feeling of accomplishment you get from collapsing on the floor after a hard workout, knowing you gave it your all. I’m thankful for how much I’ve gained, including strength and confidence, but also all the great people I have gotten to meet. To be a part of building a special place and community like Strive Athletics has been a dream, and I can’t wait to share it with as many people as possible.
