What made you fall in love with exercise?
For me, the most transformative aspect of exercise is not the physical results, which are great, but the mental strength, fortitude, confidence and self-efficacy a regular physical practice can inspire. That is what keeps me coming back again and again. Plus I just love music and music plus movement is magic.
What's in your smoothie?
The smoothie is mango, coconut milk, ginger, and turmeric.
What is your ideal Saturday/Sunday?
On Saturdays I sleep in and usually host a Local Skill event in the afternoon, which is my artistic wellness collective based in DTLA. Sundays, I like to get up early for a really tough workout with my boyfriend or some friends and then go to brunch then check out the local shops and community events. We really like to support our local businesses and make it a point to gather and support the makers and dreamers of LA.
Favorite TV shows?
Stranger Things, Orphan Black, How to Get Away with Murder. Gosh they're all a little dark, huh?! My whole life revolves around positive motivation and uplifting and inspiring others. I think, maybe, tapping into the darker side of things can help cultivate more light.
