Why
did you become interested in fitness?
Ms. Monica Brant has been my inspiration in fitness. Her physique,
her grace, and her determination have spurred me to achieve my
best. I wanted to meet her, and I finally did at the 2002 Bodyrock
NPC Monica Brant Fitness Classic. She has such a warm and caring
personality. She is very supportive of her athletes, taking the
time to see that everything is just right for them to compete
at their highest potential.
When
did you first start working out?
I have been competitive in fitness since 1983. My early passion
for dance and gymnastics seemed to lead me naturally to compete
in fitness championships. In 1983 I competed in Trinidad’s
first National Aerobics Marathon and I came in first place. Over
the years I remained active in various athletic and dance-related
events. In 1993 I won the Individual Sports Aerobics Championship,
also in Trinidad. After the birth of my second child I returned
to our Sports Aerobics Championships, placing second in 1995
and in 1996. Fitness competitions were introduced to Trinidad
and Tobago in 2000 and I became the country’s first fitness
champion. I have continued to train and compete ever since.
What
other physical activities do you enjoy to stay fit?
Dancing
What
are your goals within the fitness industry?
My dream is to compete in the Arnold Classic and the Fitness
Olympia. Earning my IFBB Pro Card this year after winning at
2003 Central American Championship in the Bahamas puts me further
along my path. I have the drive and the faith to succeed.
Additional Notes
I am looking forward to competing as a Pro. I do first
and foremost give thanks to God for my success. I would like
to also thank the people who have supported me in various ways
over the years: Mr. R. Williams, Bodyrock Productions Ltd., Steven
McAdams, Monica Brant, Ian Adams (my trainer), Julie Williams
(my nutritionist), GOLD'S Gym (Salisbury, NC), the IFBB, the
CACBBFF, and the TTBBFF. I want to acknowledge the love and assistance
of my family and my two children (yes, 2 kids).
I am available for guest appearances, routine choreography, and
fitness modeling. Thank you, FitSights.
