    Education: High school as well as some college courses.

    Personal Goals: To be in a state of constant improvement and set an example for others. I'm a teenage female weightlifter who has about seven different colors in her hair and wears ZERO makeup outside of meets or getting photos taken. I want to show that you can succeed just by being yourself and living outside the norms.

    Favorite Song: “Loca People.” We always play that song when we go for PRs

    Hobbies/Interested outside of Weightlifting: Teenage shenanigans

    Most people don’t know that…. I'm pretty open about everything
