She loves CrossFit for the mental and physical challenge and says it’s made her stronger and more resilient. Outside the gym, she finds joy in traveling with family and enjoying nature, and if given the chance, she’d have dinner with the future inventor of the time machine. Her favorite meal is salmon sashimi, and her top movies include The Gods Must Be Crazy, Black Hawk Down, and Forrest Gump. Van believes joining CFV was one of the best investments she’s made, pushing her to improve every day. Be sure to give her a high-five next time you see her!
