How did you get interested in bodybuilding/working out?

I started working out about 3 years ago when I met my husband. He talked me into getting a membership at the gym. I hired a personal trainer to get me motivated and competed for the first time about a year later.

How was your first show like, any interesting experiences?

I was nervous as hell. I am such a tomboy. So, getting me in 5 inch heals was an experience in itself. Lets just say...I had to practice walking in those things for a long time.

What do you like and dislike about competing?

I like competing because I love to see the changes my body makes. A dislike of mine would be having to cook/prepare all my food for a competition.

What are your future goals in this industry?

I want to continue to improve my physique and bring my best package to the stage.

What do you see yourself doing in 10 years?

In ten years, I hope to have a few kids by then and still training.

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

Something that I find special about myself is my name. I was named after my dad.

Any additional notes? People you would like to thank?

I would like to thank my husband for all his support and encouragement. Also, all of my family and friends..especially those from the gym!!!
