Thank you so much, Cindy!! You have been there for me throughout this entire off season and contest prep. Actually, you've been there for several years, listening to me, helping to build my confidence, cheering me on, assisting me backstage. I soooo appreciate everything you have done; you are such an awesome friend!
I can't even begin to describe how ecstatic I am to have finally won a national level show. I earned a trip to Spain to compete in the IFBB Amateur World Championships to represent the U.S. as a lightweight bodybuilder and have a chance to earn a pro card over in Europe if I win my class.
I never gave up. I never quit. I just changed my stride, walked in a new direction, and found my niche.
