Fitness has always been part of who I am. Growing up, I loved being active, and that passion followed me into adulthood when I served in the United States Air Force while also working as an EMT and volunteering as a firefighter. My dream was to become a full time firefighter. I loved serving my community and helping people during some of the hardest moments of their lives. I truly thought that was the path I was meant to be on.

Everything changed after I injured my back on the job. I herniated my L5 disc, and my L5 S1 joint eventually became bone on bone. Overnight, the future I had envisioned for myself disappeared. I was in constant pain, frustrated, and unsure if I would ever feel strong again. Instead of getting the answers I needed, I found myself learning everything I could about rehabilitation, strength training, and how to rebuild my body. It was a long process filled with trial and error, but it taught me that lasting results come from understanding your body, staying consistent, and having a plan that is built for you.


As I rebuilt myself, I fell in love with strength training and eventually found bodybuilding. What started as a way to take my life back became a passion for learning everything I could about training, nutrition, recovery, and building a body that was both strong and resilient. Today I am a wife, a mom, an NPC figure competitor, a business owner, and the co owner of Big 3 Barbell. My daughter is with me almost twenty four seven while I run my business, coach clients, and train, so I understand what it is like to balance fitness with the demand
