Please share something of your background related to your interest in fitness and this shoot.
Fitness and bodybuilding had interested me my entire life. It was three years ago that I got started only with the purpose of shedding the last bit of fat left after two pregnancies and build more muscle. It wasn’t until I got in touch with who later became my coach and friend Jamie Ibone that I decided to compete with much success.
Share with us a bit about your contest history and most memorable show experience.
List of Competitions
2014 NPC Seminole Classic, 2014 NPC Prestige Cup and 2014 IFBB North Americans Championship
I have two memorable show experiences. First was winning overall at my first show and that huge hug from my coach Jamie Ibone. Second was earning my pro card at my third show and coming down the stage yelling profanity (no one could hear me) with my first place trophy in my hands is something I will never forget.
What motivates and or inspires you to workout, diet and compete in fitness? I love being in good shape.
I love being able to wear whatever I want and look good. I also like to stay healthy. I would like to age with minimal health issues.
Which part do you have the most difficulty with?
My shoulders although I have made huge improvements.
What is your favorite part of being on stage?
After breaking the ice, my favorite part of being on stage is being the center of attention and showing the audience the final product of a wonderful journey.
How do you feel about being in front of the camera?
I feel amazing. I love being able to share my personality through a lens of a camera. It gives me a huge rush of adrenaline.
