Mom of Malcom and Tommy
__________________________
Where are you originally from?
Shoreline, WA (very close to Seattle)
What is your current job? Or what did you do before staying at home (if you don’t currently work outside the home)?
Before I was a stay-at-home mom I worked in Human Resources! At Sullivan Family of Companies (own Foodland and Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf) and at Tommy Bahama in Seattle.
What are three fun facts about you?
1. I’m half Chinese and half white
2. I met my husband when I was 17 and we’ve been together ever since!
3. I drive a big truck and love it lol!!
What is one of your proudest moments as a mom so far?
Gosh there are so many! I think seeing Malcolm and Tommy start to become friends pulls at my heart strings the most. In the beginning Malcolm wanted nothing to do with Tommy but now is helpful and so cute with him!
When did you join FIT4MOM Honolulu?
I joined when Malcolm was 5 or 6 months old I think so maybe August 2022??
What is your favorite class to attend?
Love Tuesday magic island and Friday Kapiolani classes! But have been loving Kate’s run club on either Wed evening or Sun morning
Who is your workout buddy and their age?
Tommy goes to every workout and run with me!! He’ll be ONE on Dec 23
What is your favorite thing about FIT4MOM?
My favorite thing about FIT4MOM are all the mom friends you meet along the way. I’ve been part of this community for almost 4 years and I love spending time with new moms and old friends! While also getting our sweat on! I’m also not creative whatsoever so both of my son’s first pieces of art were from FIT4MOM'S after-class activities
What would you say to a mom that is on the fence about joining FIT4MOM? You will never regret getting a good workout in and gaining new friendships! Just come to one class :)
Share your thoughts on the concept of “it takes a village” – is it important for moms to join a village?
1000%. Motherhood is challenging and hard work. And while moms are strong and can do it all - you shouldn’t be alone! Having a mom community can help you get through those difficult, hard and dark times. Love my FIT4MOM village!
What is your favorite beverage?
Diet Coke all day everyday
What is your favorite thing to eat?
Any kind of chips and dip!
You are given 4 hours of FREE babysitting. What would you do?
Get a pedicure or massage. Or go for a run or swim! Or go on a date with my hubs :)
What is your ultimate child-free vacation destination?
Would love to go on a safari in South Africa!!
