I've been an athlete for most of my life. Weight lifting and working out was naturally a "MUST" for success. I ran XC and track in high school and I also played basketball. In college I ran XC and competed in indoor and outdoor track. Being fit made me feel POWERFUL. Later, I had to quit competitive sports because of the stress of grad school. I also went through a period of horrible depression. I gained weight, lost my athleticism and lost a lot of my happiness and lost MYSELF. One day in a dressing room nothing was fitting and I cried and told myself "YOU WILL CHANGE NOW." I rediscovered my love for hitting the gym and I've been on a journey ever since.

Because it makes me feel HAPPY... EMPOWERED... and just THE BEST WOMAN I CAN BE!! I love finding new muscle changes and watching my body transform.
