For those of you that don\\\'t know, I\\\'m a NPC National Ms. Physique competitor, Bodybuilder, Fitness model and Pharmacist. I just recently obtained my doctorate degree in pharmacy (2011) while living on the beautiful Hawaiian island (Big Island). I also have a Bachelor of Science degree in dietetics (Ball State) and a Bachelor of Arts degree in pharmacy studies. Yes, I have 3 college degrees....hard to believe myself...ha! I have been lifting seventeen years, competing for 13 years in bodybuilding and figure/fitness. I was heavily influenced to start lifting through my big brother, Brad, who is an undefeated Natural Pro Bodybuilder.
Career Highlights
I held my cross-country school record for 7 yrs. along with receiving MVP in track and cross-country for 3 yrs. I was the only one in the history of my school to do well at the regional level, along with making All-City, All-County, and All-Sectionals; MVP and Team Captain/Leader for 3 years. I would like to dedicate all my achievements in memory of wonderful father, Larry! He taught me the discipline needed to excel not only in sports but in school. My father would have said, \\\"The sky is the limit and to fly high.\\\" These words my father truly lived by and was always the best in whatever he strived to do. RIP DAD!! I miss you!! Don\\\'t worry MOM, you are the best too...wink!!
I was also contracted by Twinlab Sports Nutrition from 2003 to 2007, which at that time I decided to not resign due to traveling constraints and my dedication to becoming a pharmacist! Miss you Twinlab!!
