My fitness journey started on a girl’s trip to Miami back in June 2016. One of my friends sent me the picture on the left after our “photo shoot” on the beach and I could not believe my eyes! I knew the picture was of me but I COULD NOT believe it was me! It was a minor wake up call as I started messing around in the gym and taking classes, but I was still eating poorly and doing my fair share of drinking! It was not until a few months later when I went to the doctor that I got my act together! I was told that I had uterine fibroids which were giving me the illusion of someone who was four months pregnant! The doctor immediately started talking about hormone therapy and possibly surgery. I refused. In my heart I knew I could do better. I started working out more consistently and changing my eating and drinking habits.
Once I got better control of my habits, my body began to respond positively. The fibroids did not go away, but they did decrease in size to a level that was deemed acceptable by my doctor. The changes in my body also led me to my passion—bodybuilding. In 2018, I added competing in a bodybuilding competition to my bucket list and embarked on my journey to the stage. In September 2018, I competed for the first time, and I knew things were different. A fire was ignited in me, and my pursuit changed from competing once as a checklist item to training to become a professional bodybuilder. In November 2019, this dream became a reality as I became an IFBB Bikini Professional!
Now that I have attained that goal, I have a new mission— be a resource to women and inspire them to make a choice and make changes in their lives, including their health & wellness.
