I have always been interested in sports and athletics since a very young age. I did gymnastics for a long time, and in high school I found myself really enjoying track and field. I ran tons of different races including anything from the 100 to the 400 meters, as well as multiple different relay teams. Senior year of high school, I was offered a scholarship to run track at the University of Missouri and decided to pursue that for 4 years. I specialized in the 400 and the 4×4 races. Once I graduated from college, I decided it was probably time to hang up the athlete lifestyle, and begin focusing on my career. However, quickly after, I realized I was missing something physically and mentally challenging from my life. I had been doing CrossFit classes to stay in shape, but I wanted more. That is when I decided to start competing in CrossFit competitively and now am training harder than I could have ever imagined.

Nutrition is important to me because I believe that without the proper nutrition, you often will not reach your full potential. I find that when I am putting the proper fuel in my body, my performance is at my very best.
