I started my powerlifting journey with my mentor who has competed on the IPF World, National, and Arnold Pro stage multiple times. Since then I have competed numerous times on Local, Primetime and National stages coming in first place in my open weight class several times. After competing at my first Nationals in 2023 I became the Raw Open Women’s #7 ranked 82.5kg in the country with only 2 years of training. I’ve broken State Records for overall total and deadlift for the Raw Open 82.5kg weight class, as well as the Raw Open 82.5kg American Record deadlift. During my second Nationals in 2024, I placed 3rd in the 82.5kg division, breaking the World, American and State deadlift record. I have a thorough educational background including: Anatomy & Physiology I and II, Sports Psychology, General Psychology, Physical Education, Sports Nutrition, General Nutrition, Biology and Chemistry (Bachelors of Science and Masters of Science). I am fully immersed in the sport of drug-free powerlifting based on my commitment of being a State Referee, Coach, Handler, Meet Director and Commentator. Powerlifting has sparked a competitive level within myself I never knew was there and I commit to bringing that out in all participating athletes. It brings a sense of belonging and truly pushes individuals to be their absolute best self. It is not about the numbers on the bar, it’s about perseverance, confidence and believing in yourself. Those are the keys I instill in others so they are successful in all aspects of life, including powerlifting or strength training.
