You think you can't change your body or achieve it because of life struggles...THINK NOT. Just read my story. I started when I was 14 years old for cheerleading and haven't stopped since. That was over 18 years ago! I began reading everything I could on lifting and nutrition. That's when I discovered Monica Brant. I was amazed by her muscular yet feminine physique. I imagined what it would be like to be a competitor but being from a small country town with not a lot of money, I couldn't fathom anyone like me could ever reach the level like Monica Brant. So, in my mind, it was just a dream but I kept lifting for my own desire. Over the years while still lifting, I worked my way thru college, got married and started my career. I then suffered a life threatening tubal pregnancy. I thankfully was able to have my second child. Soon after, I was diagnosed with level 10 dysplasia (begining cervical cancer) at which point I re-evaluated my life. I decided to do what I always loved and dreamt of which was fitness. I left the stress of the corporate world and decided it was now or never. I have determination like no other and there was no reason why I could not be successful as a competitor. I trained even more intensely, entered my first show and earned my National title. I am now competing for my pro card, I am a fitness model, personal trainer, nutrition advisor and figure competing coach. I can say proudly that I am one sexy, successful Mom!! lol An average girl from a small town who was determined to make something of myself. I am definitely living my dream! I will continue to work as hard today and tomorrow as I did yesterday,the day before that and the day before that.I will be recognized for that and earn my pro status.I simply am not going away.

The challenge, the discipline, self gratification and the inspiration it gives me as well as others. My goal isn't TO INSPIRE others, My goal is to keep working my own butt off to earn my pro card. The bonus would be that THAT will inspire others to work.
