Born in DC, raised in Northern VA, Caren (with a C) is a proud Washingtonian having lived back in DC for the last 10 years. When she isn't selling design and collaboration software, she's out building and giving back to the community. 

As a proud member of the DC fitness community, Caren has taught yoga throughout the district for the last 7 years, with no signs of stopping. You can find her regularly teaching at Equinox and putting on monthly community classes through her own brand, cp:yoga to help bring folks together to not only move intentionally for themselves, but to give back to the community that surrounds them. To-date the cp:yoga community has raised over $13,000 for various non-profits throughout the DMV.

From her work in and dedication to the DC fitness community, Caren found boxing just before the pandemic and then doubled down during the summer of 2020. Since she has been training with Dawson Saint Jour and Antonio Crawford with HIIT HARD Boxing out of Alexandria,VA and taken over 200 classes at Rumble DC. She recently joined the Nuboxx team to help them continue to build their already exceptional community and continues to find new spaces and places to work mitts and throw jabs! The boxing community has become a second family for Caren, supporting her in a massive way during at the end of 2021 when she lost her father to complication with COVID. 

"My dad always asked me, when I was going to do something with all the training I was doing. Now I've got something to work for that not only allows me to do something with all the training, but also gives me an opportunity to give back!" 

Caren is hyped to get in the ring for her first match and hopes you'll be in her corner supporting her and this incredible cause! Let's work together to K.O. cancer.
