Career: 

I was a project manager in supply chain, but with the birth of my son, I switched gears and am now staying at home with him and doing more volunteering in the community!

Pushing me out of my comfort zone: 

My husband and I signed up for a mountain bike race relay as my first postpartum race. This is a big challenge mentally and physically! And, I want to run more 5Ks and 10Ks. They hurt, and are hard. But gonna build back up to longer distances!
