I started working out in high school after my sister's death and my coach pushed me to see through the tough times and introduced me into weightlifting. After high school, I just kinda fade away and didn't do much.

Why I Love It:
I love to work out because I feel it's my time to focus on myself, my goals, to regain that inner-self.
How I Stay Motivated:

BB Accomplishments:
Placed 3rd at Show-me-Naturals, my first competition.
