Growing up as an athlete & fan of Marvel & DC comic characters, I've always wanted to get a sense of the that inner superhero and nothing proved more effective than the type of apparel I wore. A Spider-man T-shirt made me feel I could save everyone around me. As I grew older, I created an inner hunger for something of my own creation that could give me the same feeling.  

Amidst all my accomplishments in my profession, one of utmost importance to me is making it to representing my country at the Olympics.

I began this journey a little over 8 years ago and while it has been a long and challenging process, that dream is gradually becoming a reality as I edge closer towards being a part of the 2020 Olympics. 

At every step of the journey, with the numerous awards in track & field from high school, college and other national competitions, the one thing that has kept me moving to become better at what I do is this reminder that nothing can stop me.
