I’m definitely out of my comfort zone writing this and sharing such a long post on IG but here I go....😅 Fitness has been such a huge part of my life the past 5+ years! It has changed my life and has given me so many great blessings that go beyond trophies, titles, like & comments. It’s truly hard to put into words how thankful I am that I got into fitness. I have meet so many like minded individuals who will be life long friends or a second family to me. I remember starting out in the gym at 17-18 years old I was a very shy skinny (155-160lbs) kid with very bad anxiety, even making a phone call ordering pizza freaked me out...I know sounds crazy but it’s true.  As I started to get more comfortable in the gym and making progress not only did I grow physically but I grew mentally into a more confident, proud and strong individual. Without fitness coming into my life I have no idea who I would be right now!

As many blessings and great accomplishments fitness has given me the past 5+ years it definitely has not been easy or a smooth ride....I’ve had to grow up very very quickly and understand what it takes to succeed not only in the gym but in all aspects of my life as well. For example learning simple tasks such as grocery shopping, budgeting, time management & organization skills. Then to more challenging obstacles such as bouncing back from losing my job I worked so hard at for 5 years, losing friendships or relationships, BEATING a serious battle of depression not just once but twice and not letting that stop me from who I truly am and who I want to become! 
This year I have decided to take a step back from bodybuilding to focus on other aspects of my life that needs my full attention such as my overall WELLNESS inside and out, my education, advancing career-wise, helping/supporting others in their fitness goals both in & out of the gym. I believe this is my real passion in life!  Right now I can confidently say this is the best I have felt in over a year mentally, physically, spiritually and emotionally!
