I've always been active with playing a lot of sports to keep myself busy as well as being a gym rat. Played Soccer most of my life and at one point I always considered being the next "Mia Ham" ...Well that didn't turn out as planned LOL

I turned all my focus into going to the gym as well as eating right at around 17 years old- at that point I was obsessed with going there and would usually go with my boyfriend so I'd have a partner! Even though I find now going alone you get more done :P

When I turned 20, I met someone at the YMCA who did all these Competitions and he was doing great! He inspired me as well as told me that Id do great if I could do it. At that point, I was so shy and didn't think I could step on stage IN A BIKINI... Months later , after thinking about it for awhile I thought Id give it a try... I started training with him, 3 months later entered my first show and never looked back, Since That first show I've done 8 more and I gotta say, I've had the time of my life!

I've experienced and have learnt alot, met so many amazing fun people and I wouldn't change anything for the world. Competing is so much fun- Id say everyone needs to try it at least once! Its helped me become who I am today as well as given me more confidence in myself- I believe now that you can achieve anything you set your mind too- with determination and keeping a positive mind set you can do it!

2011 is going to be a year where I push myself HARDER in every way... I have a lot of goals in mind that I will achieve and wont stop until I do :)

I love competing because it has opened a new light for me, It has changed the way I think, and act and has just taught me so much more about myself and my body! I've also made so many amazing people along the way and Im just so happy doing what Im doing!

Before I started competing, I felt lost I guess, I was 18,19 years old not sure what I wanted to do yet.....
After my first show- I felt amazing like I finally found my calling- When Im on stage... I feel at home and at ease!!! Having that feeling I just wouldn't change it for the world. I Love what I do because it's me! It now defines me! Ive never been happier!
