Biography:
I
started weight training at the age of 18 and did a lot of cardio, I did it
mostly to lose weight. I became more of a cardio queen and did a lot of
aerobics. After my 2nd daughter was born I started teaching step class and
cardio kickboxing. When I hit the age of 30 my body started to change. I was
keeping more fat around the hips and thighs and did not like the way I looked. I
started weight training more seriously and about 4 years ago decided to try Body
For Life. I needed to clean up my eating habits. After 12 weeks I looked great
and decided to take it further and prepare for figure competitions. I will be
entering my 3rd year competing and within that 4 years I’ve also
become a personal trainer and fitness model.

First
Interest In Fitness/Bodybuilding
My
first interest was about 16 years ago. I thought Corey Everson was awesome and
wanted to be like her. But at the age of 20 I didn’t have the discipline to
compete. I was too busy with my social life to commit to that type of lifestyle.
Beer and Bodybuilding don’t mix very well.

I
would like to be featured in Oxygen Magazine. Those women are my role models.
