Being a single mom at 17 and putting myself through University, the gym was my saving grace. In times of high stress and the demands of life, it was just me and the barbell. I also lost my mom when she was 62 to breast cancer and that lit a fire in my passion to always make time for your health no matter what. If you can't take care of yourself, you won't be able to take care of others. It's a life long lifestyle especially in a high demanding profession it's so important.its who I am

I get up at 4am everyday to train 6 to 7 days a week. Currently it's Heavy weight training to build muscle until I cut again in May at which time it will be more reps and some cardio. It's never the same and always push myself to be better. For the five years prior I did a lot of CrossFit and HIIT training. I am known in the gym for the lady that trains harder than anyone and inspire so many. Doesn't matter the day or the mood, just get it done. I train at home, when I travel, wherever I am.

I consider myself extremely lucky to have gone from a single mom at 17 to a very successful professional that worked very very hard to be where I am. I have always wanted to start a fund for single parents and fitness, to help pay for memberships, gym wear, etc. I would use this as the seed capital and match it with my own money to start this fund. It's my way to give back to my one true passion and share with those that could really use it. It's what has made me who I am and I am so grateful
