Why did you become interested in fitness?
I work with fitness competitor Sylvia Ferrero and she got me to come out and train with her team. After my first competition, I was hooked. I now want to compete for the next few years!!!

When did you first start working out?
As a teenager I would try to hit the gym as much as possible. I didn't know much about dieting however, so I never felt that I achieved the results I was looking for. I only really started learning about nutrition a year ago and have applied what I have learned to my training regimen.

What other physical activities do you enjoy to stay fit?
Well, I definitely love to dance! Salsa, trance, hip-hop, whatever.. I just love to dance!

What are your goals within the fitness industry?
My short term goals in the fitness industry are to do well in my upcoming competitions, become a certified personal trainer and nutritionist. In the long term, I hope to open up my own gym someday and make a name for myself in the fitness industry.

Additional Notes
I look forward to hearing from any one who might like to give me advice or anyone that needs advice from me. I also need a reputable photographer to take some more pics of me so I can put together a comprehensive portfolio.
