Why did you become interested in fitness?
I saw a Fitness America on TV when Kelly Ryan won and thought wow, I could do that. It is a great way to continue my love for gymnastics, cheer and dance. It also keeps me motivated to stay in shape year round on those days I just might not want to go to the gym. Now that I am more into it, I realize what a great role model I can be to women of all ages. I take a very realistic approach to fitness by not severely dieting. I think “Fitness” should be more about health than competition.

When did you first start working out?
All my life I have been active, but I started learning about weights and gym cardio in 1996.

What other physical activities do you enjoy to stay fit?
Waterskiing, wakeboarding, obstacle course, snow skiing, running, dancing and any other outdoor activity.

What are your goals within the fitness industry?
To continue being a role model and being involved in the industry whether through writing, modeling, training or just inspiring others. I also want to open my own Fitness Center one day.
