All my life: I wanna try Wrestling 🧐🤩
Year of 2026: finally competes in Wrestling 🥰😇

What a dream to have come true during the most challenging times of my life. Honestly, y’all, thank you to everyone that has helped me get to this stage. The amount of love and support that I have received from & in the Wrestling community (and the other ones too!) has been overwhelmingly loving. 🥰

Wrestling truly embodies the core of the Olympic Games and I have been blessed to have learned the essence of which it flows myself. There’s only one other sport that I have competed in that I can compare it to which is Olympic weightlifting. Both are OG‘s to the Olympic movement. Both are unique, of course, but the message that radiates from them are powerful.

I want to give a huge thank you to @johnlaurenzi, @nyac, @tiger60official, @coach.brazieersays, @lvwcrtc, @coach_joe_uccellini, @bettermanelite, @perk149, @beatthestreets for helping me chase my dreams in my 4th Oly sport. We covered a lot in a short amount of time 🙂‍↕️🤞🏾 and we were literally days from unleashing this beast lol 😩🤕.

I worked my ass off, and I had the support system to do so, and these are the things I don’t take for granted. Wrestling is a sport that reminds you that when you work hard stay focused, and stay healthy, your results will speak for itself… no politics. And that’s how competitive sports should be.

This might be the only sport in which I have done so far to have been able to coach it and learn it all at the same time lol 💁🏾‍♀️. I found that highly fascinating because I love to teach, but I have not been in an environment to operate in a way in which it is equally beneficial as learning the movements. Or even practicing the movements. What can I say? I am a performance coach at heart and I have naturally found myself coaching a few times in the sport. 🙂💪🏾

I may have not been able to produce the results I wanted to this time but, I have experienced enough to understand what is necessary to compete amongst the best our nation has to offer. For now its home for summer training and nostalgia for doing burpee‘s again 🤪lol

Capping off this season, I earned 2 more bobsled national titles to make me a 6-time National Champion 🥰💪🏾. It’s been such a roller coaster ride of health, feelings, sponsorship opportunities, and athlete personnel this year that just weighed on me. My heart is soft on this milestone. Not many people can say they have achieved national victories in 3 different events of their sport (I mean there’s a few multi-event sports out there but hey lol). These last two wouldn’t have been possible without the help of my teammates 🫶🏾. Heavy on the blessings 😇.

No breakfast, but I prayed for strength to do my best!!! And now I’ve won my 4th National Push Championship, and secured the National Push Record as a driver ☺️🙌🏾!!!

First off, thank God for blessing me with great health. This off-season has been filled with adventures of all sorts and doing the scary things like getting checkups. It makes me happy to say “so far so good” and I can’t be happier. 😇 Ya girl healthy healthy!

Thank you to my family and friends for checking on me this summer. It’s been a real mental struggle decompressing after giving my all as an athlete.

Now that I have officially posted the fastest push times as a driver, I have a slight lead going into my development season. I will be needing brakemen to race with me on the development circuit. So now is the time to hop in a sled with me 😁. DM if you want to get in a bobsled 😝🤘🏾.

So much has happened since I’ve been back here in Colorado Springs that I honestly wouldn’t trade for the world. Being back home after a long year’s worth of training and competing has given me so much peace and happiness 🙂‍↕️🥰.

To go on an adventure is one thing, but to share an adventure adds another layer of fruitfulness. Anyone that knows me knows that I love exploring and geeking out on all the science things. It really does satisfy my inner nerd 🤓.

Also to add to the Wrestling Chronicles, I got to practice in my first Greco style session ever!!! It was so much fun! I could not stop smiling from ear to ear for like two days straight because I thought it was the coolest thing ever ☺️. It was basically one of my last sessions before heading back out of town so it was exciting to just learn new skills.

I may be late posting some things every now and then but, God has always been on time in my life. Choosing to steer clear from the ways of the world has always been my motto, and choosing happiness is the best thing anyone can do for themselves. 😌 I get to share what being positive looks like, even when some people work hard to see you fall. Looking forward to doing more speaking events, DM, if interested. It’s been a hot girl summer so far, stay frosty out there. 🙂😇

What can I say…my birthday was spent enjoying another year of life with great company 🥰. All of this time in Colorado, and this was my first time going to the Denver Aquarium 🐠.

Let’s just say I came back home right on time ☺️. Jesus just keeps putting people in my path that remind me that the karma of kindness is what is meant for me.

Honored to have been given the Kilgore College Blue Ribbon Medal of Excellence for Alumni Success. 😇🥰

After months and months of patience between one of the craziest years of my life, I finally got to sit down and unwrap a gift given to me by Kilgore College. I truly felt overwhelmed when I unwrapped it….I was not sure what to expect but I knew it was something special. 💫

KC was my first adventure into the real world of adulting and I was able to learn so much there. I met so many people that would impact me for a lifetime. I want to say thank you to the KC Alumni Association for honoring me with such a gift. And I will also like to thank one of my English teachers Mrs Bennie Brown for showing me the ropes in so many ways I love you all and thank you so much!!! ☺️ 🥰

Pilates is the spirit of reconnecting and realigning 🧘🏾‍♀️. Highly recommend getting in the habit of doing Pilates. Some of the positions that I did were pretty challenging.

The stability for my leg was so compromised that we needed to reduce the resistance. But I was so happy that I had help to work through everything. 🥲

The realign class focused on stabilization, strength in neglected positions, and stretching. All the things to stay healthy through day-to-day life. 🥰

Team camp was nice and simple… We like nice and simple. 😌👌🏾

One of team USA’s best sports journalist came through to talk media relations with us 🎤📺

Had fun with some sports crossover during an in-house Luge start competition 🛷

Edward Jones company stopped by two speak finance literacy with us 🤑

We enjoyed being limitless in the kitchen for a chopped USA, cooking challenge 🔪🍛

Of course, we did some normal things like unload equipment from the crates, and have meetings to review the upcoming winter season 🧰📑

Wrapped it up with a reception at the end 🍷

Mindfulness advice from Olympic medalist Sylvia Hoffman 💭🇺🇸

Remember to regulate your mental wellness by checking in with yourself — and reaching out to trusted people around you when you’re not feeling okay.

@ms_sylviahoffman reminds us that self-care starts with honesty — recognizing when something is wrong and giving yourself permission to ask for help.

Whether it be teammates, coaches, friends, family, or someone else in your circle, those conversations are crucial. Together, we can all work to break down the stigma around mental health in sports.

Check in with yourself. Check in with each other.

Visit AthleteWellbeing.org for more athlete mental health support, stories, and resources.

In high school, basketball 🏀 was life, and I always passed by the Wrestling room wondering what they did in there.
Now I’m in a Wrestling 🤼‍♀️ room learning how they built strength in there.
