I had everything a young girl could ever want: loving parents, solid roof over my head, friends friends and more friends, but today I look back and would define my past self as a troubled youth. I got caught up in some of the wrongs of the world simply to find failure when searching for success and acceptance. Three things changed my life and saved me from my own doom: God, loved ones, and dedication to the gym. Fitness became a way of life. It kept me strong choosing workouts and healthy eats rather than world ways of immediate gradification.

It's my life. My joy. Every time I lift that first dumbell a surge of energy flows through me. I feel great living a healthy lifestyle. As a competitive person I always want to be the best at what I do. This is a hobbie and lifestyle that I can always push myself to greater limits while helping others do the same for themselves.
