I'm looking forward to being a mom and a wife and a business owner.

Weight lifting is the easiest part of my day.

Compared to the challenges or raising an autistic child, weightlifting is a relief.

I studied international relations and economics at the University of Virginia. I paid my way by working as a bartender in the summer and at three part-time jobs during the year.

I'm the type of person that will do triple sessions in one day. I'll do Pilates, I'll do spinning, and then I'll go to the gym and do weights - which is insane.
