I ran Track and Field growing up (100, 200, 400m sprints) and played volleyball through middle and high school. Remaining active has always been important to me so I went to the gym, lifted and did group exercise classes through college and grad school. However, nothing clicked with me the way sports did. Staying fit and committed through sports was effortless because it was fun. I first tried CrossFit in 2012, and as most ex-athletes, it really resonated with my competitive spirit. Although I enjoyed it, I found CrossFit in the midst of 4 inter-continental moves and also planning my wedding, so I didn't start training consistently until 2014. I am a CrossFit Level 1 Trainer and an affiliate owner, along with my husband at CrossFit Selvagem in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. 2018 is my fourth Open and I'm excited to finally finish one out and get my scores submitted on time for once! :)
