| My husband, Matt got me started into powerlifting and I fell in love with it. He has pushed me to the max many times and I owe a lot of my accomplishments to him. He is a great lifter himself and he inspires me to be #1. |

| sum it all up for us: |
| I began competing in college with the Ball State Powerlifting Team in USAPL meets. Placed 1st at Women's Worlds and 2nd at Collegiate Nationals. I went to a Westside seminar back in '01. From there, I fell in love with powerlifting, got some new equipment and began competing in IPA meets. I would drive to Westside once a month to train until I moved to Buffalo. I love lifting and competing and hope to see more women get involved in the sport. I have met so many lifters along the way and I consider them all my friends. It's a blast to meet new people at every meet I go to and learn from other lifters. |
