Why did you become interested in fitness?
Once I got out of college, I missed doing competitive sports. I went and watched a contest and I was hooked. I also really really wanted to get into fitness modeling, so I was always checking out the contest coverage and all the models in Oxygen, Muscle Fitnes Hers, etc.

When did you first start working out?
I have been active my whole life and spent 12 years competing in gymnastics. I have been lifting since high school, but I feel that I didn't really start training until about a year ago when I joined Carla Sanchez's Performance Ready Team. It was then that I started realizing how important diet and lifting heavy was...my body has completely transformed since then.

What other physical activities do you enjoy to stay fit?
Living in Colorado, I love hiking (especially 14ers), rollerblading, and running Red Rocks.

What are your goals within the fitness industry?
I want to get my Pro-Card, be on that Olympia stage (and win), and have my face on the cover of every fitness magazine (ok, maybe not every one, but hey a girl can dream).
