After coming in LAST at a cross-country tournament in grade 6, I dedicated my entire summer to learning how to run. My parents were into fitness, so I had some great role models to get me started. I gradually built up my endurance and placed 7th the following year. At such a young age, I learned that hard work truly paid off, and from that point on I was hooked. I wanted to help other reach their goals too, so I signed up for an aerobics course as soon as I turned 16. Since then, my passion for fitness has never stopped growing!
