About Me.

Growing up in a small town in South Jersey, everything in our family turned into a competition. My brother and I challenged ourselves daily to outpace, outwit, and outplay the other. Now, I know what you're thinking--my poor mother! Her role was the supportive one, who made it safe to push our limits and take risks academically, athletically, and socially.

​

Competing against your role model and your best friend in everything from swimming to putting your seatbelt on in the car subtly teaches that competition is less about taking someone else down and more about revealing whats inside of you. Compete's latin roots speak to this idea, com meaning "with" and petō translated "to seek/aim/strive." 

​

To strive together. It's as close as I've gotten to a personal motto. Fighting complacency, challenging one's limits, and doing so with others who challenge, inspire, and support your journey.
