Why
did you become interested in fitness?
I became interested in the fitness industry because I've always
been athletic. I did ballet and gymnastics and dance most of my
life. I was also a cheerleader and track team captain. I felt
the next natural step for my to incorporate my skills and do something
I enjoy was the fitness industry. I have 2 kids ages 5 and 2 so
it became it little more difficult for me, yet, I feel that they
motivate me even more to do well for myself and for them.
I
want to be a positive role model for my kids as well as girls
across the world. I want to work w/ young girls to inspire them
to be independent and use their brain and skills to attain anything
they want. I was able to get a
marketing degree in 4 1/2 yrs while raising 2 kids by myself.
I was also on the dean's list and national dean's list as well
as in who's who in american colleges and universities. The only
thing that can truly hold us back is ourselves. Anything else
can be overcome.
My
biggest role model as far as physiques has always been Amy Fahdli.
In life my biggest role model is Oprah Winfrey. I also wouldn't
mind modeling Jennifer Lopez.
When
did you first start working out?
I first started working out at a gym when I was 12. The only time
I was
extremely rigid in my diet and routine was when I was 18/19. I
just work out and try to watch what I eat. I'm going to get progressively
more serious w/ my diet and training w/ the competitions this
year and next.
What
other physical activities do you enjoy to stay fit?
I also enjoy playing w/ kids and dog, traveling, shopping, working
out on beach, yoga, pilates, rock climbing, roller blading, and
karate.
What
are your goals within the fitness industry?
My goal w/in the fitness industry is to make a name for myself
as a serious competitor. I'd like to win a few titles. Do alot
of fitness modeling and delve into some acting. I also want to
open many businesses, a clothing line, and branch out into real
estate and whatever else I can find the time to get involved in.
I also want to make a name so I can create an opportunity to work
with and speak to young girls about the importance of education
and setting and attaining goals and independence.
