Working out has grown to be a part of me more & more since I was in the 2nd grade. It all started with those elementary olympic games we used to compete in! haha. But the building side of this regarding Figure competition just began in October 2011. I've always been an endurance athlete, but I wanted to take on a new challenge and learn more about nutrition as a professional goal post-grad school, in the field of strength and conditioning. What better way to learn about it, than to experience it!

This is a way of life for me. I feel like I am truly building a healthy physical, mental and spiritual form while training for this sport. I love the family in the gym, the support I receive from my husband, the excitement my family expresses when they come watch me at figure competitions, the challenge. this is just to name a few of my favorite things regarding working out!
