I am a passionate and competitive distance runner who loves to express herself through the beauty of art.

My favorite tattoo is my half sleeve Phoenix on my left arm. I was raised by my grandma and I am the woman I am thanks to her. As a child I grew up thinking she was mom. Never did I ever imagine I would say bye to her, better yet I never thought that day would come so soon. When she passed I was completely clueless. I didn't know how I would cope without the woman I spent most of my time with. My grandma was more than a second mom, she was also like a sister as well, considering i am the only female in a family of 8. The day she passed I felt I died as well, but I rose from the ground like the Phoenix does from the ashes. Now I love life, stronger and more thankful for the woman she made me. She created a responsible, respectful, and hardworking woman. The tattoo also has a flame which means that no matter where I go there she is lighting up and guiding my life.
