I was a big athlete through out grade school. I started with soccer when I was five and kept playing that through out high school along with basketball and track (middle school). I loved competing even though I would always get super nervous and I underestimated myself a lot. I struggled with an eating disorder through high school and was a huge cardio freak. I would run every chance I got, even after I would eat. I discovered crossfit two summers ago, which led me to meeting my trainer who trained me for my first Figure Show. I played three and half seasons of soccer at my college and made the decision to walk away from it, but this last fall I competed in my last season of soccer and don't regret the decision. I missed competing in the aspect. Last April I competed in my first Figure Show, and it was a learning experience to say the least. I took 1st in my height class. I still wasn't happy with my body, and right now that is where I am at. Trying to respect my body and finding the perfect training regimen. I hope I find it soon, and I hope to compete in something along the lines of crossfit competition or possibly another show in the future.

It's what keeps me going. It literally is my high. I get very anxious, almost feel like I'm suffacting when I don't workout. To be honest.. I love working out.. and working out hard for all the people who physically can't. I want to run for the people in wheel chairs.. or who don't have legs. I want to run for everyone who is struggling in life. I lift harder when I think of all the children starving. Even though my working out won't help them.. I want to somehow use my knowledge for Health and Fitness to get over seas to help. I inform myself with new information everyday just so I can help others.
