| I started lifting in 2003 to compete in bodybuilding. I started training for powerlifting in May 2005. I did my first full power, sanctioned powerlifting meet in July of 2005. |
| My biggest inspirations are all the female powerlifters (women of power) who are competing or who have competed. It's not easy being in this sport, where there is not really a dime to be made, and your love for the sport is what drives you to succeed! |
| Bodybuilding - NANBF, NGA, NPC / Powerlifting - APF/WPC, WPO |
| 725 squat , 430 bench, 473 deadlift, 1581 total |
| I have four sisters, three younger and one older. All of my sisters and both of my parents have been so supportive of my powerlifting! If you come to any meet that I am lifting in, most likely you can find my dad in the front row cheering loud (or cussing the judges out! LOL!!!) |
| sum it all up for us: |

I thank all of my training partners and sponsors - Inzer Advance Designs, Standard Process Vitamins and AtLarge Nutrition for helping me to achieve my goals! I can't wait to see what the future holds for myself and all Women of Power! ;) |
