I grew up in Sunrise, FL and when I graduated from high school I decided to attend the University of Florida. When I first got to UF, I was unsure what I wanted to major in. However, I realized that I wanted to follow my dream of becoming a sports broadcaster and decided to major in Telecommunications.
I really started to get involved with my track at UF during my sophomore year. I took the necessary classes and was able to pass the test to continue on with my degree program. I got involved with the sports radio and NPR stations on campus and developed my skills as a reporter. However, I needed a bit of a confidence boost if I really wanted to pursue my dream of a career in television.
I then decided to make a change and live a healthy lifestyle. I adopted an exercise program and saw great results. With my new look I gained a much-needed boost in my self-esteem and have found my passion in reporting sports and news television.
I hope to anchor sports and news casts for Florida's First at Five program, a student run newscast, this coming fall. I am heavily involved with UF's College of Journalism and Communications. Don't believe me? You can take a look at my resume.

Derek Jeter to Play Shortstop for Yankees Tonight
My favorite team is the New York Yankees so it would only be natural that my all-time favorite baseball player would be Derek Jeter. I have watched him play for the Yanks for virtually my entire life and have religiously followed his career in pinstripes.
It was hard for me to watch last year when Jeter was injured in New York's ALDS series to the Detroit Tigers last season and it only became worse after Detroit bounced the Yanks from the playoffs.
Jeter had to overcome his broken ankle from October and hast battled back. He was able to rehab and workout in order to be able to play his first start at shortshop tonight for the Yankees since his injury.
I am thrilled to see Jeter return especially considering how the Yankees have been hit hard by the injury bug. New York has seen OF Curtis Granderson and 1B Mark Teixiera going down to injury and will miss some extended time after knowing they'd be missing the bat of 3B Alex Rodriguez for a good chunk of the 2013 season.
The Yankees and Philadelphia Phillies will square off tonight in some Grapefruit League action.

Miami Heat Look to Extend 19-Game Win Streak
You might be wondering why the NBA's Miami Heat would be featured on a fitness blog. The Heat have won 19-straight games and play tonight against the Philadelphia 76ers in Philly.
Miami is led by all-star forward LeBron James who has been playing some of the best basketball of his career this season, playing a key role in his team's recent hot streak. James has often ran into criticism in the past especially for his announcement in "The Decision." However, LeBron has been answering critics throughout his career especially last season when he led his team to a title.
LeBron James has been praised for his workout routine and thought it might be helpful for those Heat fans who look to emulate the MVP.
