Deb has been part of the Mischief family for over a year, and her progress has been nothing short of incredible. She truly puts her whole heart into everything she does. Whether it’s a tough workout, supporting a fellow member, or showing up on a hard day — Deb gives 100% every single time.
She is the kind of person who is helpful, friendly, and always there when you need her. That’s what makes her such a special part of our community.
Last July, Deb experienced a setback when she fell and broke her wrist. But if you know Deb, you know that wasn’t going to stop her. She attacked her physical therapy exercises rigorously, stayed patient, and never gave up. Her determination and resilience have been inspiring to watch.
And recently… she PR’d her bench press — her favorite movement! 💪 That moment was so well-earned and such a testament to her hard work.
Deb, we are so proud of you. Thank you for being amazing and for being such an important part of the Mischief fam. Congratulations! 🎉

One Interesting fact about yourself?
Remote wilderness trips are my happy place — I’ve canoed the Boundary Waters, hiked the Ice Age Trail, gone to the bottom of the Grand Canyon (twice), and trekked to Grinnell Glacier in Many Glacier National Park to name a few. Being out there always resets me and makes me feel grateful.
