Who I am

Me:

I am a 23 year old mechanical engineer consultant born and raised in Indiana.

I think of the body as the most complicated system we know and I am fascinated by how it works and what makes it work best. I love to sing, dance, draw and arnold palmers. I put honey mustard on everything. 

Fitness Background:

I was a crossfitter all four years of college but after starting my new career that required long days and traveling every week it no longer became convenient or affordable to be a member of a crossfit gym. I now have an incredible coach Ben Barkes and workout at Barkes Fitness when I can but mostly am a remote athlete. I work out at the gym at my work or hotel. I still lift heavy but have adapted a more old school way of eating/training than paleo/crossfit (I still avoid dairy, gluten and sugar/aspartame..I am extremely sensitive to all three) I have done yoga, pilates, have a black belt in karate and been dancing ever since I could walk. I played tennis and lacrosse during high school but I was never on varsity or a super star athlete. Fitness is a passion of mine and I am enjoying the current journey of competing in my first bodybuilding show in April!
