I have always been into some form of fitness but it wasn't until I began dating (now husband) Reed, that I really started training with weights. He told me about BB.com so I joined and have been loving the programs and the support from the community members on the site ever since.
Living a healthy lifestyle is an ABSOLUTE must for me. I have a rare autoimmune disease called APS (Antiphospholipid Syndrome) which is a blood clotting disorder. Besides the medical aspect, working out/training makes me feel good and it is my passion. I love the challenge of pushing myself and seeing the results of hard work.
I've recently begun my own fitness training business so that's an exciting new venture for me. I do hold certifications as a Personal Trainer and Fitness Nutritionist. I'm currently working on my third certification in Corrective Exercise. I have competed in the Bikini division within the NPC and I plan to step on stage again in the future.
