My
name is Susan. I am the Area Manager for Moxie Moms in the Boulder Area
and Founder of Moxie Moms. Read on to find out more about me... |
Why do I do it?
I
love bringing people together and being active with my children.
And, by helping the community to be better for moms, I can have fun
while accomplishing a worthwhile mission.
I
started Moxie Moms in 2003 to make it easier to be a mom...for me and
others. When I first became a mother, I found the transition
difficult. I wanted to create a way for moms to be able to find
each other and fun things to do...to find Friends, Fun & Fitness
for moms. I am proud that Moxie Moms makes being a mom easier and
more fun.
My favorite activities with my kids are...
I
love being outside as much as possible. I take advantage of the
many hiking opportunities we have in the Boulder area. But I also
enjoy exposing my kids to a variety of fun experiences. My
favorites are:
- Hiking on all of our great trails
- Music & dancing with my crazy Izzy
- Picnics at the park
- Walks on the Pearl Street Mall
- Swimming
- Visits to the Zoo & Aquarium
My mommy strategy . . .
It
seems everyone has an opinion on how to be a great mom. I don't
know if mine works for anyone else, but I believe that I have to be a
happy mom to be a great mom. My happiness is based on having a balanced life which I maintain by always moving forward.
Before I was a mom . . .
Before
I had my first child, Isabella, I was a sales & marketing
specialist in the sports industry and I was a competitive
cyclist. Sports and fitness have always been a big part of my
life and I hope to continue that habit and share it with my children.
I
loved my career in the sports industry, which included stints at PR
Nutrition, Haro Bikes, and Timberland. My other passion at that
time was competitive cycling.
I was a member of the Celo Pacific and Boulder Women’s Cycling
teams. In 1995, I won the California/Nevada State Road
Amateur
Championship.
In 1997, I moved from San Diego to Boulder to work at Pearl Izumi
and race bikes. I have lived in beautiful Boulder ever since, and continue to enjoy the great friends I've made and experiences available to me.
