I decided September of last year (2018) that I wanted to compete in a bikini fitness competition for my 30th birthday. Just a dirty 30 goal to push myself to get into shape. I found an all-natural, drug free federation, registered, and started training right away. I found the perfect federation, the NFF (Naturally Fit Federation) and at that time they had a show literally the day after my 30th birthday... so that's the one I chose! I worked so hard! My nerves were crazy competition day, but there were so many wonderful competitors there that were so supportive and genuinely nice that helped me through it all. I had registered for Amateur Novice Bikini and Amateur Open Bikini... little did I know, I ended up placing 1st in both division and took the Overall Bikini Champion Title! It was such an amazing experience and an awesome 30th birthday for me! Because of this experience, I found that I loved it so much, I wanted to keep going.... so here I am, I have 2 shows now under my belt, and I have 2 more shows I plan to compete in to end off this year! I want to be an inspiration to others so they know that it is possible to achieve your dreams and your goals. Your body IS capable, it's your mind that needs the convincing!

It's a way for me to decompress and rid some stress and anxiety. Even though the gym may be packed, I still feel like I can be alone in my thoughts. I just put my headphones in and hit it hard. It's a way to escape all responsibilities and just life in general, all while improving your health and stamina. I love working hard and seeing the results from my hard work and dedication.
