At birth, I was severely unhealthy due to drug abuse while I was carried. Had numerous surgeries and suffered through my entire childhood because of it. My immune system was weak and the slightest hint of germ proved near fatal for me. But by the grace of God, I survived.. He pulled me through and showed me that He had a plan for my life. I was tortured both emotionally and mentally all the way up to my 2nd year of high school due to constant memories, physical scars that made themselves everyday reminders of what I went through, a hate of my past and situation, and negative comments from schoolmates. I KNEW I had to do something, to prove everyone wrong.... but most importantly, to prove MYSELF wrong.. Ive been running track and cross country since 7th grade. I started to excel at it my 10th grade year and got the opportunity to compete in Australia, Hawaii, and New Zealand. Ever since then, I used this sport as a means of support. It was all I had.. I dedicated myself 110% and started working out to get faster and stronger. When I decided to run at the collegiate level after getting offers, I knew I had to bring my A game. The original plan was to train just enough to get even stronger and faster for the season, but it ended up evolving from just a short term goal, to an ever-growing passion.. And quickly went from just another hobby, to a way of life for me.

Im a VERY competitive person by nature. I love competition and testing my limits. Working out forces me to face off 1 on 1 against my biggest competitor... myself. It is also a means of self revival for me. Ive come a longggggg way, and this new found love for working out constantly pushes me to the extremes and is consistently unleashing hidden potential. The sky is the limit! REACH FOR IT!!
