“When I was 17, I had a terrible eating disorder. I was running everyday. I’ve always been a Type-A person, and I got really restrictive with myself. It escalated, and I ended up losing way too much weight. I was 6 feet tall and just under 100 pounds.
I had to take a break from things and get healthy first. It was a long, long road to recovery. But through all of that, it opened my eyes to a lot of things and set my priorities straight. I knew I wanted to study performing arts in college, and in order to do that, I knew I had to get healthy. That was my catalyst and inspiration to get better.”
