From what my friends tell me, apparently some guys can be pretty intimidated by me when they find out what I do. I find it funny because I try to be modest and I don't like to talk about gymnastics unless I am asked about it. But my roommates always take on my bragging rights and tell my life story to the guys we meet, which leaves me blushing.

When you make mistakes during routines, it's not easy getting through them.

As a gymnast, you always wear spandex. Being a teenager wearing spandex? It was tough accepting how my body looked, especially if there was any weight gain.

I like to mix up my workouts to keep them fun and interesting. It makes getting to the gym a lot easier!

I really want to go back to school and finish up my sociology degree.

I'm a firm believer in if you work hard you should play hard. So I try to keep my life as balanced as possible to keep my sanity.

Wake up every day knowing that today is a new day and only you can determine the outcome of that day. So dream big, accept the challenge, and never look back.
