When I began competing, I spent days looking for a local coach. I landed on a "trainer" at my gym who had competed in bikini before but wrote me a set meal plan that led me to develop a completely unhealthy relationship with food. After my first competition, I rebounded instantly and had the lowest self-confidence that I have ever felt. 

 

When I moved from Tallahassee, I wanted to get back into shape and discovered flexible dieting. I looked at a couple of coaches, and teams, but they were so expensive. The coaching was great, but I just couldn't afford it. I have been coached by a few coaches in my career and have experienced a variety of coaching styles. Ultimately, my choice in coach came down to who I resonated best with and helped me achieve my best look. 

I have now competed in seven national bikini competitions,  finally earning my IFBB Pro Card at Junior Nationals. Prior to achieving pro status, my top 5 placings included finishing 2nd at North Americans in 2024, 6th at the National Championship XXL in 2024, and 5th at the National Championship XXL in 2025. Each win has brought me 1-3 placings away from turning pro, and I NEVER GAVE UP. Now I will continue chasing my next dream of competing at the Olympia.
