I was always athletic and loved sports. I started lifting weights in junior high school just so I could beat the boys in arm wrestling! That sparked my desire to be a strong, fit woman.

There is so much in life that is out of our control. Through bodybuilding and competing I have learned so much about myself and am empowered by the ability to control this aspect of my life. It's amazing how that sense of accomplishment transcends into other aspects of life as well.
