I became active at the early age of 3 performing gymnastics and being the cheerleading mascot for the town grade school. Since then, I was on many miscellaneous leagues including softball but did not get serious about weight lifting until approximately 1990.
Thanks to a friend/personal trainer at the gym I was training at the time, he convinced me to enter in my first amateur bodybuilding competition in May of 2000. I advised him I would only enter if it was Drug Free & he assured me it was. I refuse to put anything unnatural in my body that can be detrimental to my health. To my surprise, not only did I win my class, but I also qualified for Nationals. I decided to take some time off and try and put on a little more muscle.
In 2002, I gave birth to my beloved daughter. I decided the winter of 2003 to train for a show in 2004. I always did well placing in the top 3 but it wasn't until June of 2007 when all my dreams came true and I won, earning me my pro card. Now I join the best of the best in the WNBF!
This is a hobby I plan on pursing for many years to come. All my hard work and dedication continues to pay off. My ultimate goal is to grace the cover of a fitness magazine. My advice to all is: "believe in yourself, stay focused, never say never and have faith" Good things really do come to those who wait. :-)
