Why did you become interested in fitness?
Growing up I always wanted to model but never pursued it, about 3 1/2 years ago I started training at a local gym and loved the results I was getting. I started reading fitness magazines and studying more about proper training and nutrition. I found that I kept wanting more and more out of fitness, so I combined the two together and took it from there. I've also been inspired by my brother who is into bodybuilding, in the past he would bring me home autographed photo's from Vicki Pratt, Monica Brant etc... from the Arnold Classic, now I just go right along with him!

When did you first start working out?
I've always been very active, but didn't start training religiously until I was 25.

What other physical activities do you enjoy to stay fit?
I do alot of walking, I also enjoy rollerblading and riding bike.

What are your goals within the fitness industry?
I want to get as educated as I can in the fitness industry along with inspiring others. Although I have won contest in the past, I'm still working towards modeling for fitness magazines. I want to market myself and get as much publicity as I can. I want to prove to myself and others that your dreams can come true if you continue to pursue them. I don't stay content for very long after a contest, I always have to move on to the next event. My family says it's in my blood! I want to follow wherever this journey may lead me. I have great ambitions! I believe staying true to yourself and the lord is key!
