Career Highlights
In the year 2000, I came in 3rd at the Quebec Provincials, and 3rd at World Qualifier in Quebec City. This year however was my best year. I was at my best and hence came in 3rd at the North Americans. A few weeks later I competed in Vancouver for Femsport where I came in 1st in the physique round and 3rd overall. From the look of things, 3 seems to be a good number for me. But watch out, I am planning to break through 3rd next year at the Canada's in May.

Why did you become interested in fitness?
As a retired gymnasts, I was getting bored training without having specific goals. I was doing various hip-hop dance shows but that wasn't enough. When I saw pictures of the pros in magazines, I was inspired. I wanted to see if I had what it takes to achieve that level of fitness. It was a challenge and it remains a challenge 'til this dance. I have no intention of quitting until I at least reach the pro ranks.

When did you first start working out?
As a kid, I was always really athletic. Gymnastics was my main thing but I also canoed in a crew team and did aerobics to stay in shape throughout my first degree. I started training with weight in 1998, when I decided I wanted to compete in Fitness. Wow did I see my body transform.

What other physical activities do you enjoy to stay fit?
I like to bike, hike, I walk every where (seeing as I don't have a car). I also take various dance lessons and my next "thing" will be Ashtang yoga. I think this will help me greatly for my power moves in my fitness routine.

What are your goals within the fitness industry?
I want to become pro. This is my immediate goal along with becoming a fitness model. Being part of a calendar and having a picture in flex magazine have always been a dream. I also want to grow as personal trainer and nutrition consultant so that I can eventually work for myself. There is still a lot out there for me to learn.
