I was raised to live a very healthy lifestyle. Exercise and healthy food was part of my every day routine.

My mother is the reason I am involved in fitness and has always motivated me to make health and fitness a part of my life. She taught me that you must balance good nutrition with exercise, and be happy with who you are and what you have accomplished.

After 4 years of competing, I finally achieved my goal of becoming an IFBB Professional by winning the Overall Title at Figure Nationals in August of 2005. I am looking forward to competing at the pro level where I hope to one day walk across the stage of the Olympia.

I love my job because I truly enjoy helping my clients achieve their fitness goals. I feel fulfilled everyday through my work. Knowing that I am making a difference in others lives and that I am an inspiration to them, keeps me motivated to continue to reach for my own goals. I love every aspect of health and fitness. I am fascinated by the physiology behind every exercise I do and the effect everything I eat and drink has on my body. I never lose sight of my goals. I believe that to reach your goals you must have balance in every aspect of life. My drive, dedication and positive mental attitude helped me achieve my expectations and will continue to do so.
