I moved from Houston to Dallas Texas where I was one of Kim Zmeskal’s gymnast at Texas Dreams Gymnastics. From age 12-17 I struggled through many trials and tribulations from getting multiple injuries to getting the twisties, however I finally made junior elite when I was 14. When I turned 17 I had the pleasure of qualifying as a senior elite gymnast, and was lucky enough to get an invitation to compete at the U.S. Women’s World Team Selection Camp in the summer of 2014. During my time as an elite gymnast I had many overuse injuries and not many colleges were hot to trot to recruit me due to my injuries. However, right around the time I had just turned 15 and seemed to have caught the attention of Valorie Kondos Field. When I was young it was always my dream to be a Georgia Bulldog because Courtney Kupets was one of my idols. Although, when I was getting recruited their program wasn’t doing all that well, but Alabama was on top of the world that year. Thus, my dream changed to Alabama however two girls from my gym had already been offered full ride scholarships from there. I switched my gears to other universities and I felt lost in the chaos because I didn’t have a guide nor did my parents really know much of anything about the recruiting process.
