As a child I was always sick and skinny. At the age of 12, I was attending boarding school and found myself exempt from every physical activity possible, diagnosed with asthma.

 

Track and field changed all that; one day I ran my first 400m and the rest they say is Herstory.

I became a beast practically unstoppable, Track being the ultimate teacher that the sport is, I ended up with a scholarship to college competing in the Heptathlon.

 

This meant great coaches and father figures along the way, I got exposed to many cultures and cuisine because of Track, my confidence, strength, determination, spirituality can all be attributed to my love and desire to succeed at being a Track  & Field athlete.

Yes I picked the event that determined who the ultimate athlete is. It was pure joy as I fought my way through every event.

​

After college I coached for 7 years, inspiring young ladies to find the beast in them and giving them confidence to face life outside of Track. I found myself in that guardian role like many coaches and forged relationships that will last a lifetime.
