Fitness became my outlet when I was 18 years old, but my journey truly began long before I ever set foot in a gym. Growing up, I was painfully shy and quiet—traits that, unfortunately, made me an easy target. From elementary school through junior high, I endured relentless bullying, both physical and emotional. I remember faking sick just to avoid the torment, spending countless hours in the school counselor’s office just to escape the day. It was a dark and lonely chapter of my life.
Eventually, I turned to all the wrong places in search of comfort—alcohol, risky behaviors, anything to numb the pain that had settled deep inside me. I was spiraling, chasing a sense of peace that always seemed out of reach. But everything began to change the day I stepped into a gym. What started as just another escape quickly became something much more—a way to reclaim my strength, my confidence, and my sense of self.
It’s been 12 years since that moment, and today I can honestly say I’ve become someone I’m proud of. Through fitness, I’ve discovered my purpose: helping others who have walked a path like mine. Life is never easy, but I believe there’s something incredibly powerful about connection—about being able to say, “I’ve been there too,” and offering hope from the other side.
In the past five years, my life has evolved in the most beautiful way. I became a mother to two amazing daughters, and they’ve added a whole new layer to my journey. They deserve the healthiest, most grounded version of me—not just physically, but emotionally. I want them to see that we can rise from pain, grow through struggle, and emerge stronger than we ever imagined.
Today, every choice I make is rooted in that belief. I train not only for myself, but for them—to show them resilience, strength, and the beauty of becoming. My goal is simple: to keep evolving, to keep growing, and to use my story as a source of inspiration for others. Because if there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that we are never defined by where we started. We are defined by how we rise.
