Full of energy from feeling suppressed by society’s expectations for an entire decade, I became visible and decided to dedicate my life to making the world a more queer friendly place.

I want to inspire people in more ways than just fitness. To do that, I couldn’t be afraid to be myself, because I know there will always be negative and rude people regardless. I want to show others to also not be afraid to be themselves. True happiness comes from being able to express who you are. To accept yourself and love yourself.

The University of New Haven was an amazing place to be a gay athlete; we used to have a saying “she went to New Haven, and now she’s gay”, because there were so many lesbians there.

If you are good at what you do and put in the effort, that is all that matters. People recognize hard work.
