Why
did you become interested in fitness?
I developed a passion for fitness while trying to learn more
about my lifestyle change. I would purchase as many fitness
magazines as I could, attend fitness shows and events, and
I eventually began to scour the internet for more information.
I was incredibly inspired by the stage performances and I was
determined that one day I would be up there. Finally, a breakthrough
came when I saw a web page for FAME Canada which was being
hosted by World Natural Sports…….. 10 weeks later
I was there.
When
did you first start working out?
I was always a very energetic child that would not stop moving.
Had I been born 5 years later I’m sure I would have been
medicated. Unfortunately, my parents couldn’t convince
me to direct that energy into sports with the exception of
synchronized swimming. I actually began working out as an adult.
When I met my husband and he introduced me to the world of
weights. I had worked out in the gym sporadically as a youth
and adult but I had no concept of sets, reps, protein, or form.
Prior to this I believed that sugar was a valuable source of
muscle building nutrition. I was instantly hooked on the gym
and wanted to learn all I could to refine my training.
What
other physical activities do you enjoy to stay fit?
I am an avid snowboarder in the winter and practice yoga on
a regular basis. I have involved myself in synchronized swimming,
track, ballet, belly dancing, sport kayaking, recreational
volleyball, rollerblading, and biking. My love for sport range
from exotic to extreme- I love to learn and am always willing
to take on new athletic challenges to stimulate my body and
mind.
What
are your goals within the fitness industry?
My goals are to continue to compete in the Fitness Model Category
and allow this to open doors for becoming an established fitness
model. I would just love to be able give my mom a fitness magazine
with her daughter on the cover (I think she deserves it!)
Additional Notes
I am currently acquiring my personal training certificate and
would love to be able to apply my knowledge and skills to my
clients. This industry has given me such a renewed sense of personal
well-being and I can’t wait to see what comes up around
the corner.
I
am available for fitness modeling work anytime. I am always
in “photo-ready” condition and I don’t
need time to diet down to my current shape/size. Please feel
free
to contact me through my web site or email address. I am always
looking to chat with great people and learn from their experiences.
