I had always been an athlete growing up with one of my favorite activities being running. However, when I was a Junior in high school, I took a weight lifting class and fell in love with it! Then, I started working front desk at a gym and learned all about the amazing world of bodybuilding and competing and my love affair continued! Since then, I haven't looked back!

Working out is my time. It's my time to focus on myself and my health and improving the only body I'll ever have. When I'm working out, the whole world is muted and it's just me, my breath and the weights. My mind is clear and all I think about is the contraction of the muscle that I am working. It gives me a sense of peace and helps me to clear my mind of all of my worries. Working out is like my therapy and I love it.
