Country childhood-raised. City adulthood-living.

I enjoy working out, eating healthy, and staying physically and mentally fit. Injuries, I'm sure we all had our share of stories, experiencing the unfortunate. I happen to face an injury that no athlete ever wants to go through. In 2005, I tore my Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) in my right knee, playing in a very-well memorable college basketball game. This past injury drove me to have a strong mindset to be able to push not only myself, but others to get back to where we need to be. Although I was scared, thinking how I could ever recover through the excruciating pain.

But it's all about pushing yourself to break out of that mental stage, stop saying "I can't" before you even try. Instead, stop procrastinating and start doing so that you can begin. Believe in yourself with your heart and push yourself even when it hurts in order to get better results. At the end of the day, the only person that's stopping you from doing what you want to do is you! With a broad background in athletics, she played basketball all throughout her years of schooling, from Little League Sports of Lunenburg County through Undergrad College.

She was known for being a sprinter in Track & Field at CHS. Competed in: 100, 200, 400, 4 x 100 meter relay, long, triple, and high-jump. She played Varsity Basketball freshman year through her senior year. She set a scoring record of 1017 total points and was named MVP 2003-2004 and All-Conference Player of the Year. Coming from a small town, with only 350 students in the entire school (96 classmates c/o of 2004), it was considered a big deal for Women's Basketball.

​

When she relocated to the larger and much diverse area of Northern Virginia, she later learned that those points really wasn't a big deal after witnessing/facing more competition and talented athletes with higher scoring records. Growing older and wiser, she saw that there was really no future for her in basketball. Although, she continues to play it until this day, for fun and for the love of the game with a another vision, to help others with their health.
