Why
did you become interested in fitness?
I was in love with weight training and the gym before fitness
ever came along. I used to look up to the female and male bodybuilders,
but didn't want to look as big as them. While backpacking overseas,
I stopped for awhile in Brisbane, Australia. The proprietor of
the gym I was training at suggested I enter a fitness contest.
It was only 5 weeks away-he helped me with my diet, I worked on
my routine myself, and placed second in Queensland, Australia.
I instantly became hooked!
When
did you first start working out?
I first started lifting weights in the off-season for track and
field. I discovered how much it helped improve my track season,
and I loved building my physique. I also found I was usually the
only woman surrounded by men in the weight room and thought, "what
a great sport!"
What
other physical activities do you enjoy to stay fit?
Yoga, hiking, snowboarding.
What
are your goals within the fitness industry?
I would like to continue to motivate, inspire and coach new girls
to enter fitness and figure competitions with my seminars and
one to one training. I would like to continue to compete, learn,
improve and make my way up the ranks to the top fitness athletes.
