By Strength and Power Hall of Fame

A brief personal history:
I’m a mother of two , powerlifter and have been an athlete all my life. Started playing basketball, running track and bowling when I was young. Participated in all three sports from elementary school to high school and had the privilege of having a scholarship to run track on the collegiate level at East Tennessee State University. While in college still continued to play inter-mural basketball all four years while running track , and after graduation played on adult sports leagues ; woman’s basketball league for couple years, bowling league for couple years and played two seasons of indoor soccer. After taking sometime off from sports I wanted to get back in shape, so six years ago I joined a CrossFit gym. There I was introduced to powerlifting and have become driven with ambition ever since. 

What lead you to your sport:
I wanted to get back into shape so joined a CrossFit gym, and the head trainer/coach had a powerlifting team. After two weeks of classes the coach came to me and stated pound for pound what I was lifting in the workouts I was the strongest lifter and he could train me to win a world championship, so I said let’s do it!
