I grew up as a competitive dancer and ballerina. This is where I learned how important body placement and control is. I am  fascinated with muscles and how the body moves.

When I got to college, my passion for dance turned into a passion for strength training and I went on to receive my Bachelors in Exercise Science. I am a certified ACE personal trainer and fitness nutrition specialist.  I became obsessed and this was when my dream of one day becoming a body building competitor began. 

It turns out God’s plans for me were greater than what I could have imagined for myself. I married my high school sweetheart, Jesse, during college and we decided to start our family early on. We have been blessed with three beautiful children that are now 10, 7, and 5. 

During the early years of motherhood I started teaching group fitness classes and personal training. I fell in love with it. There is nothing more rewarding than seeing others create a healthier life for themselves. 

After the birth of my last child, I decided I needed a goal of my own so I finally signed up for a body building competition. Aside from pregnancy and childbirth, it is the hardest thing I have ever done. The competition process taught me self discipline, that sometimes it is okay to be uncomfortable. Since then, I have competed in six regional NPC bikini shows and qualified for nationals at every single one of them. I love the process, I love the stage, but I love helping other women discover their potential even more.
