I’m fighting in honor of my Nana, my grandfather, and other close friends who have won, lost, and continue their fight against cancer.

I watched my Nana - the strongest and most stubborn woman I’ve ever known - knock cancer out multiple times before eventually losing her battle. These experiences have shaped my perspective on strength, resilience, and showing up when it matters most.

I’m the owner and head coach of MASS Strength in Franklin, MA, where I get to help people build confidence through building strength every day. Now it’s my turn to step into the ring and put that strength to work for something bigger than myself.

I’ve been lucky to have an incredible community support me through three Pan-Mass Challenge rides, and I’m excited to rally that same group again for Haymakers for Hope. Whether you’re here to donate, cheer me on, or watch me get punched in the face — thank you for being part of this fight.
