Strength has been a part of my life since childhood. My parents owned a gym, times were different, I’d have to sneak in to workout. While my dad was training and my mom was teaching aerobics classes.The spark never left. decades later, that same spark from watching my parents compete in bodybuilding. I started competing in 1998, in natural bodybuilding. That foundation taught me discipline, resilience, and the power of investment in my own longevity.

I’m a powerlifter at heart, so my training consists of my three main lifts: squat, bench, and deadlift. From there, I build in accessory work to stay balanced and explosive, and I fit in conditioning whenever I can. Training is my therapy, my challenge, and my reminder that strength is earned not given.

I’m passionate about competing- whether it’s on the platform or behind the wheel. Winning would allow me to invest in both sports that have shaped me: powerlifting and motorsports. As a woman competing in these two sports, I’m proud to show strength, grit, and passion have no gender. This prize would help me keep pushing boundaries and represent women who love lifting and driving fast.
