Hey everyone!
Thank you so much for taking the time to visit my site
Where do I begin?! Well... I was born and raised in Virginia Beach, VA and currently live in Bossier City, LA with my wonderful husband and three dogs. People always ask how I got into competing and how I became an IFBB Pro athlete... Was I an athlete in high school and college? Nope... but I tried! I played field hockey a few years in middle and high school... and I'm not going to lie, I did dance in middle school but quickly gave up after two years because I despised the pink tights! They were SO itchy!!! I was always the chubby girl so I hated dancing anyways... I have just about zero hand-eye coordination so field hockey didn't go down so well either. Oh, and did I mention I tried out for the volleyball team? Didn't make that either, HA! Now, weight lifting, dieting and cardio I can do... figure competing was made for people like me!
After getting tired of being the fat girl, I lost a bunch of weight the end of my sophomore year of high school. All I did was cardio morning and night and ate one meal a day. A trainer at the local YMCA approached me and said something that I will always remember and tell my girls; "It's better to look strong and fit than frail and weak". We talked about how the girls on the cover of Oxygen looked so healthy and in shape- I wanted to look just like them! He convinced me to take up his weight training program and to change my eating habits... That's where it all began!
I got even more serious about clean eating and weight lifting my freshman year of college. I had my own mini fridge in my dorm room stocked with all types of healthy goodies. Each morning I would wake up at 5am and walk half a mile to the gym, even during the winter of Northern Virginia! If I waited until after classes, all the benches would be taken over by the fraternity boys and I would get crazy looks by everyone- since most girls just did cardio. I moved to Florida my sophomore year to be closer to my husband (boyfriend at the time) and started working with my wonderful trainer, Mike Davies, a year later. I went on to graduate with a BS in Health Sciences from University of Central Florida and a MS in Exercise Science & Health Promotion from University of California at PA.
I want to thank Mike for helping to transform me from an amateur girl with a big booty and tiny upper body to an IFBB Professional Athlete! I am very grateful for his help and the support from my loving husband, family and friends! I could not do this without them! I am so excited to see what my future holds in this industry and will continually push myself to be the best I can be
Thank you all for your support and for the wonderful friendships I have made in the fitness world thus far and will continue to make!
Love to you all! xoxo!!!!!!!!
