Having two older brothers definitely keeps you on your toes and ever since I can remember we were always outside playing sports. Finally when I got to highschool, there were strength and conditioning components added to my athletics. While in high school I tore my ACL playing basketball, then I did it again my freshman year of college - I've since had to learn to keep myself fit in other ways - and there you have it, bodybuilding.

I believe in being a strong woman physically and mentally. Bodybuilding gives me that - it's a challenge everyday.
