Favorite quote: The obstacle in front of you is never greater than the power within you.
How’d you get started? Through the middle school program my club offers. My mother signed me up for the spring season and I was hooked the first day. I have been doing it ever sense.
Who’s your hero? My mother, she’s just such a strong women, I really look up to her, she’s the major reason I do what I do and have gotten this far. She has taught me to always give my best, work hard and to never do anything half way. She raised me to be confident and never give up that anything is attainable. For that I will always thank her.
Trivia: I absolutely love animals, I’m super outdoorsy and I guess you could say a bit of a tom boy.
