How did you get into body building and do you compete professionally?
In 2016 I went to the 49th Annual ABABWF National Championships,
My friend and I looked at everyone on stage and joked about being up there next year. Before I knew it, we were registering and I was completely out of my comfort zone. Training for body building was the hardest thing I’ve ever done. With the encouragement of my mentor and friends, I pushed limits and made it through .
