What’s your career? Patient Safety Manager and LGBT Veteran Care Coordinator at the Tucson VA Medical Center.

What are some things you do outside the gym that people might not know? I love to cook and eat (thus CrossFit).  Recently I have been kayaking or paddle boarding when I get a chance, or just going for a hike with my husband of 23 years.

Do you remember what your first workout was and what you thought? I don’t remember the first work out, but I do remember the first 100 meter run.  I kept thinking don’t puke, don’t puke.  Now I am signed up for the Murph Challenge (modified)!
