Tell me about yourself?
I am a 23 year old professional Long Jumper and Fitness Coach.
What was the hardest thing you’ve faced because you are a woman?
As a woman, I’ve faced the harsh realities of life, disbelief, and skepticism from my peers. The world is tough and people who I thought would be in my corner simply had no trust in me or any of the endevors I chose to pursue.
What’s the greatest advice you’ve received?
To always believe in myself and always keep my faith in God. I carry that with me through anything I do, even if I struggle. I believe that there is nothing I cannot achieve with God by my side.
What drives you in life?
Remembering who and what I’m doing it for. Every time I dive into a new business or new training I always ask myself, “What is my end goal?” and, “Why did I start doing this in the first place?” I want to be successful in life and be able to give back to other people who may not have the same opportunities or support that I’ve been granted. I want to be able to provide for my family for generations to come…that’s why I keep going. To be able to help others is my driving motivation.
