My fitness journey has taught me one thing above all: balance. After taking ownership of my health years ago, I was so inspired by the mentors and coaches who poured into me that I became a certified personal trainer myself. While I’m not currently coaching, that knowledge continues to shape how I care for and challenge myself. The morning of swimsuit prelims, I had a glazed donut. 🍩 Because discipline doesn’t mean deprivation. A healthy lifestyle can include the foods you love, flexibility, and enjoying life along the way. This season has been full—balancing my career, family, travel, and preparation. Some days I can give it my all in the gym; other days, movement looks like walking on the treadmill or hitting the StairMaster while answering emails. I’ve learned to work with the season I’m in rather than chase perfection. My goal is simple: be 1% better each day. And as I continue on the road to Miss Universe, I’m bringing my strongest self, inside and out. 🇺🇸🤍 Photo by: rez...
