How I got to where I am? Iâve always been super athletic, I was thrown into many different sports as a kid. Gymnastics, ice skating, diving, cheerleading, dance, track and field and aerial arts. Yes, I was very athletic but I wasn't eating properly. So nutrition was a big step for me. I grew up in an italian home where we ate pasta and white breads almost every night. This is where I really wanted to switch up my health and research about healthier options and what nutrients my body needs. During College, I created an Instagram to help me stay motivated and focus on what I wanted to achieve. Instagram was my fitness journal. It was a place where I could interact with other fitness and nutritional minded people. It kept me focused. When I was competing in Track and Field, I knew if I had my training and nutrition on point I could accomplish my goals. And I did! One of my biggest accomplishments was placing 4th with a time of 63.80 and becoming an "All-American" 400 hurdler at the 2014 California State Championships. That was my goal. All I wanted out of that was becoming an âAll- Americanâ but I had an even stronger passion for fitness and nutrition. While being in Track and field I attended many fitness expos. This is what got me hooked. What got me started with bodybuilding was I attended my first Olympia fitness expo back in 2012. I knew this was my place and calling. I finally felt accepted into a community that respected muscles! I loved track and field and I was good at it but my heart wasn't in it. I made a decision. I didn't want to continue track and field because I wanted to focus more on the fitness industry and building myself at a young age. My experience so far has been amazing and the feedback I am getting is so uplifting.
I love bodybuilding and working out because it makes me feel powerful. Watching my body sculpt into what I want it to be is an incredible feeling. It keeps you happy, confident and energizing! i've never felt so good about my body until I picked up a pair of weights. My life was changed forever!
