Quick Facts

I plan to bounce back after delivering my first child and get right back into competing in both Crossfit and Weightlifting. I hope to be back at the American Open next year in December after giving birth in early August and hope to one day make it back to the Crossfit Games with my team. I made one trip back in 2011 and it was an amazing experience

Favorite Food: I looooooove pizza!!

Favorite Book: Not much of a reader

Favorite TV Show: I love all the cheesy reality stuff like all the Real Housewives. Atlanta is most dramatic, so love that one.

Favorite Song: Im loving the Katy Perry song "Dark Horse"

Most people don’t know that…. I was six weeks pregnant when I competed in the 2013 American Open. I consulted with my doctor and he gave me the green light to go ahead and compete. Dropping weight was tough but I did it! My baby boy and I did it together. He's already a champ and still hasn't even been born. I hope he’s proud of his mama.
