sum it all up for us:
Freshly upgraded (mentally) I finally got my head on right, I'm training
for huge pr's.
 In years past I was only going through the motions. I hadn't begun to
realize potential, let alone tap into it. Outside of lifting I enjoy
rehabbing houses (mine is over 100 yrs old), white water rafting and
spending time with friends.
 I'm a girly girl who switches personalities when it's time to lift.
 I'm also looking to land some great sponsors. Special thanks to
Brandon Jenkins DC, best chiropractor a woman of power could ask for.
weight class:
198+
biggest inspirations:
Well #1, I would have to give props to Wade Johnson, my coach and mentor. He keeps
my head on right and pushes me to my goals and beyond. Thanks to everyone in the
morning crew, great laughs while helping each other succeed.
