Special Thanks

I would like to take this opportunity to thank my family and friends for supporting me in my decision to compete. I know that at times my preparation and training can be difficult to deal with and I appreciate your understanding and patience. You have all provided me with love, strength, happiness and laughter. Without any of you, I would not be the woman that I am today. I love you all and thank you for being in my life – I am truly blessed.

Special thanks to the following people:

Jeana: You are not only my sister but also my best friend and the bond that we share is truly unique and rare. You have taught me to be honest with myself; to work hard but also play hard; to not be afraid of what others may think; to sometimes let go of my inhibitions and just laugh at myself; and most importantly, you have taught me the importance of family for without you, my family would not be complete. Thank you for being such a wonderful sister and friend – I love you.

Jamie: We have had so many good times and laughs together over the past 11 years. I am going to miss you so much, and it most certainly will not be the same without you here. I wish you all the best on your journey ahead and hope that I can make it out there to visit you. Remember that you can get in anywhere as long as you wear your bracelet, haha! Buda!

Cathy, Jodi & Paula: Thank you for welcoming me with open arms to your program. Since attending my first Sunday Session, you all have  made me feel like a part of your family and our bond has only gotten stronger over time. You all have  provided me with such a vast knowledge of information regarding the sport of figure competition and maintaining a healthy lifestyle and I cannot thank you enough.  Two words for you girls, PHE - NOMENAL!

Savage Girls: I am so thankful for having the opportunity to meet such an amazing and empowering group of women. From our weekly Sunday Sessions to traveling together for shows, you all continue to inspire me with your dedication and endless support. I am so grateful for having you as my friends as you always remind me to push harder for the goal ahead - especially the original 3 - love ya both! Step, drag, HEY!

Kev: Although knowing you such a short amount of time, you have already made a tremendous impact in my life, especially with my competition training. You're always there whether it's just to listen to me vent or to keep me motivated and on track in the gym. You're the best workout partner - thank you for your support. It's your turn now, knock em' dead on that stage!

Francesca’s Kitchen in Arlington, MA: A big shout out to Joe and his staff for providing me with my daily supply of fish while preparing for a competition. You guys are the best!
