My brothers are both college baseball players and have been lifting heavy for many years. One day my brother was recommended 5/3/1 by Jim Wendler which I got a hold of and read in one sitting. I was diagnosed with a rapid onset of Graves Disease in the fall of 2011 and had a full thyroidectomy in January. After almost two years of medical changes, and some heart issues, I'm back and lifting again. Feels like I'm starting over, but with the support of my family and boyfriend I know I'll get back in the game. Hoping to compete in NPC Bikini next year and working with Jessica James IFBB pro as my coach.

I'm an English major with aspirations towards a PHD in Philosophy (ethics/metaphysics) and/or a Law degree. I think it's only right that we train our bodies as hard as our minds. I love sculpting my body into what I perceive to be the best version of myself along with competing our horses.
