The spirit of a champion is deep rooted in the heart soul of every true athlete. For many years I grew up flipping and twisting in the family business, The Greater Buffalo Gymnastics Center. However, one day I transitioned my skills from a spring floor to a spring board. This began at the age of 12 and after ten years of dedication, early morning practices, injuries, rehab, victories, defeats and more, my sports career was highlighted at the NCAA National Championships at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia.
