Career Highlights
I have participated in numerous Karate and Jiu-Jitsu tournaments with multiple winnings in 1st, 2nd and 3rd place in fighting and forms. The past year I have been in two fitness competitions placing 4th and 2nd.

Why did you become interested in fitness?
I always admired the fitness competitions on TV and in the magazines. I never thought I would compete in one since I had no gymnastic background. When I saw Sylvia Tremblay in Oxygen Mag, I was inspired. She started gymnastics at 31 years old!! So I thought “Hey! I can do this too!” Proves it’s never too late to start something new!

When did you first start working out?
I first started weight training in 1997 and then gymnastics in 2000.

What other physical activities do you enjoy to stay fit?
Between gymnastic and weight training I don’t really have time for other physical activites. But if I did, I would love to include martial arts in my curriculum once again and even start up ballroom & latin dancing!

What are your goals within the fitness industry?
My original goals were to discipline myself to stay in shape and learn my body. I have reached that goal and now I’d like to continue competing in fitness and motivate others!
