......After

I competed in my first show on June 4, 2016. Although I did not take first I feel very accomplished in taking 4th place in the Novice Division. I could not have been happier!!

My dream was to be that girl on stage, to be fit and proud of my body. For years I was self-conscious of my body. The gym helped me let go of those fears. The journey has been long and hard, but I am now comfortable in my own skin, mind and body.

I have many people to thank for their support and helping me get here, my now partner, Anthony, my three beaufiful girls, my mom and Isaac.

My goal now is to confinue to compete, to be an inspirafion to those who struggle on a daily basis with their weight and to help others reach their goals.

If I can do it, anyone can do it!!!
