Career
Highlights
My very first competition was in April 2000 Galaxy Competition-Venice
Beach, CA. An obstacle course competition where I placed 17th
overall out of a field of 46 competitors, 13th in the swimwear
round.
Why
did you become interested in fitness?
After struggling with my weight for so long I decided to make
a life change and get involved in fitness. Once fitness became
a regular part of my life I gained the confidence that I had been
lacking for most of my life. It completely changed my life making
its way into my life permanently.
No
excuses now..
I
started seeking out ways to push myself harder and to make new
goals for myself and that's when I decided to enter the Galaxy
competition. Its an experience that I will never forget. I sometimes
get that desire to compete again but for now I am not sure when
or if that will happen. I think I am a natural competitor at heart.
I am always pushing myself to be my very best so I would not be
surprised.
When
did you first start working out?
It wasn't until I had developed serious weight issues, that I
started looking into fitness. I never played sports as a child
and wasn't athletic at all, so for me to get involved in an exercise
program as an adult was a big stretch for me. I am amazed by what
fitness has done to transform my whole physique. I am very proud
of what I have achieved so far.
What
other physical activities do you enjoy to stay fit?
I enjoy weight training, cycling, rollerblading and running. I
like to find a nice trail to rollerblade and blade forever..its
fun and you barely feel like you are breaking a sweat. I also
enjoy running.
What
are your goals within the fitness industry?
I'd like to become certified and start training others in fitness
on a part time basis. I think it would be very rewarding to see
other people make a transformation and get results. Its a big
deal when you can actually look in the mirror and like what you
see. I just think it would be great to be a part of that!
I
would like to do more fitness modeling since one of my goals is
to become a full time professional model. I've always wanted to
model for the major fitness magazines. I think that would be alot
of fun.
Additional Notes
