Why the NPC?:
The NPC is where I call home. Its like a little family. I have met some of the most amazing people from judges to competitors in that organization that I now call my dear friends. No matter where I go I can see someone I recognize at a show or an event and we speak the same language and share the same love of this amazing sport.
What do you like best about competing?:
Competing has been my life saver! It has given me a hunger and a passion for life that I never knew before. It has given me unending self confidence!

Competitors you look up to:
First and foremost....I most admire and look up to my trainer Mandy Blank. She has been my inspiration for YEARS before I ever wanted to compete and now I have the honor of calling her my coach.

She is such a light in my life and her daily encouragement is my heartbeat. <3
