It all started with a fascination for fitness and wellness. I was 16 years old when I met my training partner Sarah Yeager at Vocational School for Health and Fitness. We both have always loved the industry and the more we learned the more involved we became. I have a very competitive personality from playing sports all my life and weight lifting eventually became my new sport. In November of 2012, I turned my fascination into a passion and I started training for my first bikini competition!

Growing up I have always played team sports like softball, volleyball etc... Bodybuilding has brought out a different side and strength in me. I learned very quickly that if you don't put in the work, no one will do it for you. There was no longer a team of girls to back me up or fix a mistake. Every single action and result in bodybuilding is self earned and because of that I have mentally grown to be a stronger more independent woman. Plus nothing is more satisfying then recieving strange looks in the weight area of the gym...as if it is taboo for a girl to lift.
