Career
Highlights I
have had several highlights since August of 2000. The first was
winning my class at the Team Universe and
receiving my Pro card in Figure. After that i competed for the
USA in the World Amateur Figure Championships in the Czech Republic!
First time overseas! Than i was invited to the First Ever Figure
International at the Arnold Classic and stood on stage w/ some
of the best bodies in the world. Taking Fourth place was just incredible.
most recently i qualified for the Figure International, I don't
think that has sunk in yet...
Why
did you become interested in fitness?
I think I began fitness in a pretty common way. I have been
active all my life and began lifting to stay in shape. I met
a friend who introduced me to her personal trainer who happened
to be Mike Davies. I had no knowledge of competitions, I only
wanted to make my time in the gym effective and efficient. eventually
I did my first show and didn't stop until I had done 7 competitions
in one season and was 4 point from earning my pro card on my
first year out!
When
did you first start working out?
I started gymnastics when I was 11yrs old and the conditioning
and strength training involved was very beneficial. during high
school I joined a gym to lift on my own. so I guess you could
say I've
been working out most of my life.
What other physical activities do you enjoy to stay fit?
When I'm not in the gym or the kitchen, I keep burning calories
by chasing my toddler around and keeping her from pulling
our cat's fur out. I'm sure this eats up at least as much
as doing the stepper for an hour. When I can I like to speed
shop (cause that's all a baby will allow) or take walks outside
and play with my two dogs. I would like to do more sprinting
than I currently do (must be a competitive thing) I also
do Mike Davies boot camp classes once a week or so.
What
are your goals within the fitness industry?
I have recently reached so many of my goals that I haven't even
stopped to think about new ones! Competitively I would really
love to be in the best shape of my life at the Figure Olympia.
OK here it is. I want to be in the top 3.
I
would also like to help others reach their personal fitness
goals by offering
my personal training services and all the experience
that i have gained. it is very hard to do this without some
guidance. In addition I want to appear in several more magazines
and continue
to inspire people, as my fans have told me i have been doing.

Notes
I am available for personal training, sponsorship, product endorsement, modeling,
and to receive large quantities of chocolate.
