An athlete for most of my life, working out has been something that I've been engaged in some way for as long as I could remember. During college and after, I've made working out apart of my lifestyle. I am serious about preventing complications associated with my hypertension, which I have most likely due to genetic reasons, and hope to be able to manage my health without the uses of medication.

As a petite woman, feeling strong and being strong is something that makes me feel really good. I love what body-building does for my martial arts (Muay Thai) training, and I love the mental and energy boost I get after working up a good sweat in the gym.
