Where did you grow up? Right here in Arlington Heights

Tell us who is in your family: My husband and I moved to Arlington Heights in 2020 and have been loving it. We welcomed our son in May of 2022 and are expecting the newest addition to our family this April.

What is your current/previous career? I currently work part-time as a freelance copywriter and content manager. I assist tech start-ups, small businesses, and large enterprises with anything and everything related to the written word.

How did you find Fit4Mom? I was walking around the park near my house with my son when the stroller brigade rolled by and handed me a card.

What is your favorite Fit4Mom class and why? Stroller Strides is an awesome mix of cardio and strength training, and I love that every class is different!

Is there a class you haven't tried yet but want to? No, I think I've hit them all :)

How has Fit4Mom impacted your motherhood journey? It's been amazing to meet other moms in the area who are on the same journey as me. It's such a comfort to know that other moms are experiencing the same struggles and successes, and I've received so many great tips from the moms in Fit4Mom. I also love that it's a guaranteed workout. Getting in a workout around ever-changing sleep schedules can be a challenge, but with Fit4Mom, I know I can count on a little bit of movement in my day.

Tell us something about yourself that would surprise us! Prior to becoming a mom, I spent most of my time working as an actor/writer/comedian in Chicago.
