How did you get interested in bodybuilding/working out?

My good friend and trainer Mike Davies knew I would be good at it and he was right.

How was your first show like, any interesting experiences?

Well, my first show I was clueless, I was in my senior year of college, I had NO money and no idea what i was doing. I spray painted my prom shoes silver to match my suit, I wore prom hair, and then on top of it they asked the fitness girls to do bodybuilding poses. I had never seen a show so I was following the other girls ,,I looked totally stupid, I guess that s why I won out of 12 girls!

What do you like and dislike about competing?

I hate the strict dieting mostly, its out of my control and I can't stand that. It really puts limitations on my social and family life. What I love about competing is the fans, the routine, and how amazing I can make my body look.

What are your future goals in this industry?

I have to win MS. International ONE time. Thats it! This is the ultimate goal for me, The arnold classic is in my hometown and I want to win it for all my friends, fans and family who have stuck by me all these years.

What do you see yourself doing in 10 years?

I will have kids and will probably running races or something athletic. I am a natural born athlete and I will always have to be a part of something athletic.

Please tell us something special about you that most people wouldn't know?

I am not shy so I am not sure what people don't know about me. HUMMMMMMMM??????? How about I love skinny Dipping and I do it at least once a year.

Any additional notes? People you would like to thank?

We will be friends no matter what others think! My husband, Brian is truely the best thing to ever happen to me. My parents for being who they are. Mostly, to my fans and friends in the industry.
