My fitness journey began during high-school. I have ridden horses competitively since I was seven years old but during high-school I began to play on the volleyball team as well. In order for me to be competitive in both sports I needed to increase my strength and stamina so I started working with a private fitness trainer.
The sessions paid off.
During my freshman year in college I was headed to the World Championships, in horseback riding, for the second time. I had to really buckle down and stay focused as everything was now a priority; college, training in the gym, training on horseback, working part time and traveling to all of the above.
I earned the Reserve Champion title that year.
