Officially stuck with my favorite person forever. 🤍💍

From our Dallas bach trip to saying “I do,” this has been the sweetest season of our lives. We laughed way too much, cried a little, danced all night, and made memories we’ll be talking about forever.

To our family and friends—thank you for celebrating with us. And to my parents… thank you for going above and beyond to make our dream wedding a reality. We love you more than words can say.

Now it’s time for our greatest adventure yet 🤍✨

Well the time has come for me to sit down and write this post. This isn’t like any other meet recap that I have ever made because this meet was unlike any I have ever experienced in all of my 8 years of powerlifting. No one goes into a 9 week prep expecting to bomb out.
These past weeks, I felt every emotion possible knowing this could be my last time on a collegiate nationals platform.
I gave everything, balancing nursing school, working full time, taking care of my body, and showing up every single day. So walking away knowing I still failed… hurt more than I can explain. From walking off the platform rejoicing that I had just broke my own American record bench, ready and feeling so good to deadlift, then turning around and going for my third pull knowing that I had one last opportunity to get in the meet and stay there was one of the scariest feelings that I had felt in a while. I have never in my life bombed out, ever. Bombing out had never crossed my mind until I realized that I had one last opportunity. But in that heartbreak, I was met with so much love, from my coaches, teammates, and even strangers. I’ll never forget the words:“Successful athletes aren’t the ones who win everything all the time, successful athletes are the ones who lose and still choose to stand back up and get back to business.” People fail. Even winners lose. And that’s okay.
To those who celebrated my loss, I’ll pray for you. But your voices don’t outweigh the love I was shown, even from competitors like Joy Li—thank you.
I truly believe God is working for something greater, even when I don’t understand it.
I gave myself time to grieve, then I stood back up and cheered on my team because that’s what we do.
This is my New Orleans 2026 Collegiate Nationals dump.

This is not the end.

2nd in the nation & officially an All-American 🇺🇸❤️‍🔥

So proud of this moment and everything it took to get here. Huge thank you to my coaches and everyone who supported me along the way—you’re the reason this is possible. This year has been the best year yet giving me friendships I never knew I needed and I cannot wait to see what next year brings!

Happy RA Week to our amazing RA team! 💙🧡

Our RAs are the heart of our residence halls, showing up day and night to support residents, build community, and help make campus feel like home. From late-night duty calls to programs and everyday check-ins, you make a bigger impact than you probably realize.

We’re so grateful for each of you and the care you bring to our Midland community. Thank you for everything you do! 😊
