She is one of the first women I saw pictures of that lifted heavy and 100% gave me the guts to not only say "I want to do that too" but actually get the courage to do it. For that I thank you Streaky.
1. What does your off day look like? What do you like to do other than pick things up and put them down?
My off day is usually spent doing meal prep, laundry, and prepping for the week ahead. Hanging with my boy and pups. I love being outdoors, hiking, biking, motorcycling, exploring.
2. What does your training day look like? Where are you training? Multiple times a day? With friends or alone?
My training days right now are pretty intense - 2 a days - strength, conditioning, bro stuff at Golds Gym for aesthetics and accessory pieces - TONS OF BICEP CURLS - I usually train alone, but sometimes I get lucky and have a buddy.
3. What advice do you have for women looking to lift heavy shit?
Lifting heavy shit is so empowering. DO IT! With it brings forth a confidence you never knew existed.
4. Favorite movie?
The Goonies
5. What was your take-away from Regionals Team last year? The good. The bad.
I loved that I set a goal to compete at Regionals and did what it took to get there. The good: being able to compete along side of the best teammates led by the amazing Miki Carey. Being part of a team was pretty neat. I've never played sports or anything, so it was a neat dynamic. The bad: I wasn't 100% confident in my abilities and strengths. I focused too much on what I couldn't do instead of what I could. :(
6. What is your focus on now? Crossfit? Lifting? Do you have goals set?
My focus is still on training like a boss. I still love crossfit, however I'm leaning more towards powerlifting/Oly/Grid style training. I love moving heavy shit really quickly. I have a ton of goals set for the next 6 months.
7. What has changed for your new meal plan? Flexible dieting, Macros....?
My new meal plan has a lot more carbs added in to it because my volume and intensity has increased a ton.
I don't really consider myself a flexible dieter. As of now my food choices are usually body builder/zone like - with the occasional splurge on a rice crispie treat. By occasional I mean daily. LOL

| I literally can't even....bad. ass. |
8. Any competitions coming up?
My first Competition this season is going to be June 26/27 - power lifting/power X. Can't wait to see how my new dieting and programming has changed since last season.
9. What the question you get asked most?
The question I get asked the most: "when is your next show?" I always have folks assume I'm a body building, which I take as a compliment. Probably my biggest pet peeve question "how do I get lean and tone without being bulky or too muscular like you?" :(
10. Who do you look up to? Who are you DYING to meet?
I look up to a ton of people - my mom - peers - I find inspiration, wisdom, and knowledge from everyone. Dying to meet? No one in particular. I love meeting new people!
11. Any new tatoos in the works?
No new tattoos in the works, however I'd love to finish my left arm sleeve and fix the Koi fish that everyone says looks like a thanksgiving cornucopia.
12. Morning person or night owl?
I'm both - Morning person and a night owl.
13. Do you have a motto or a saying that gets you through the tough workouts?
My motto that gets me through: the first thing I usually tell myself is there are no pansies in the hall of fame. Pick it up Streaky!!! and "don't beat yourself up. you came in, did work, and punched the clock. You are one rep closer to the podium. Suck it up and do work - nothing but a peanut."
14. What's the hardest part about coaching? What's the best part?
I don't feel like there is a hard part to coaching - passing the written testy maybe. Hahahha The best part is seeing an athletes face light up when they PR, learn a movement, and appreciate you for teaching them something outside their comfort zone. The feeling inside is indescribable. It makes my soul happy.
15. Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
In 5 years I hope to still be coaching and competing and getting prepared to compete as a Masters Athlete.
16. How has the move to Crossfit Goat and Georgia been? Missing the beach?
Quite honestly, this move has been extremely taxing on me mentally, physically, and emotionally. It has affected my training tremendously. Weather, new surroundings, people, etc. is a huge adjustment. Once I finally got my bearings everything seems to be working out for the best. I am currently still doing make up and working 4 other jobs, but i love it.
I absolutely miss the beach and Florida and my mom and friends and family and Gardens Crossfit very much. Looking forward to going home and visiting, but as for now I'm busy hustling and training my ass off here in Georgia.
Thanks Streaky!!!!
