Gymnastics uses every single part of your body, every little tiny muscle that you never even knew.

So if you think being thin is enough to succeed in gymnastics, you're wrong.

I'm coming up on 30. There are other things that I want to pursue outside of just performing.

In gymnastics, the longest routine you do is a minute and a half, and that's pretty tough to get through.

Above all, you have to love what you are doing. You cannot fake passion. If you love it you can fight through the rough times and enjoy the good times.

For the most part I'll probably do floor exercise and balance beam. Those are the two things that I do.

I love performing in front of an audience and seeing smiles on the kids' faces.
