The Fun Stuff!

This stuff is completely unnecessary, but it makes for a fun introduction.
I believe that most of us were our truest selves at age five.
So, I'm going to introduce you to my five-year-old badass self.
  • I loved puzzles and problem solving.
  • I loved painting—particularly sunsets, water, or anything else in which I could layer and blend colors.
  • I loved group fitness and personal training.
    • It makes sense once you know that my mom was a group fitness instructor and personal trainer.
  • I loved hip hop: the music, the clothes, the dancing, the graffiti.
  • I loved basketball, martial arts, and gymnastics.
  • I wanted to be an Astronaut.
Today, my goal is to be as awesome as my five-year-old self.
I'd say I'm pretty close.
 
  • I still love puzzles and problem solving.
    • It is partially my love for puzzles and problem solving that fuels my passion for coaching.
  • I still love painting.
    • It's purely for fun—I've never had any instruction, and it shows.
  • I still love group fitness and personal training.
    • I've earned national certifications for both group fitness instruction and personal training.
    • I've been a group fitness instructor and personal trainer since 2008.
    • Of course, this lessened significantly during my three years in law school.
  • I still love hip hop:
    • I teach hip hop dance.
    • I still desperately want to try graffiti art.
  • I still love basketball, martial arts, and gymnastics.
    • I miss basketball—not necessarily playing—but I'd like to start watching it again.
    • I miss martial arts. I do kickboxing when I can, but I'd love to join a boxing gym.
    • I miss gymnastics. I go to trampoline parks every once in awhile for fun.
  • I no longer want to be an Astronaut.
    • Sorry, I don't know what to tell you with this one.
you've met me...
I'd love to meet you, too!
