10th grade... 1993, jeez. I was very inconsistent until about 6 years ago, when I trained frequently, but not necessarily well. 4 years ago I began training with the intent of competing.

This is going to sound funny.. I started gymnastics at 3, tae kwon do at 5-6, I did fitness at 10-11, figure (when I started working with weights) at 15, and now I'm doing fitness again at 16. So, I did my first Nationals at 15.. And now, I'm 16 doing fitness Jr. Nats in June. :)

Ran track in high school. Also did long jump and high jump. Then I battled Non-Hodgkins lymphoma at the age of 22...At the age of 30, I was tired of being lazy, so I started training. Did my first figure show at the age of 37. Will be doing my third one this July on my 41st birthday.
