How did you get started into lifting weights and training?
When I was 18 we bought a home gym, I was starting to see the results, then later starting working at a local gym.  After looking through the back of an Oxygen magazine at the figure girls, I decided I wanted to look like that and be just like them! So I did it;  I starting competing in figure and just the past year moved to Bodybuilding! I love the sport, I love the drive and love the results!

 Were you athletic growing up?  What other sports have you done or are currently doing?
Growing up I was heavy into dancing! I was on the dance team in high school and miss that like crazy! Kept you fit, flexible and feeling good!

What are your goals in bodybuilding? 
To compete at the national level and dreams to become pro someday! Then hopefully take the journey to have the chance to compete on the Olympia stage!!!

In your opinion, what is your best body part?  
I love shoulders!!!! Love the pump and the tight feeling I get when I train them!  It’s all about the caps!!

Do you enjoy being strong?  Why? 
I do! It makes me feel powerful and dominant and in control!

Do you enjoy performing onstage?
Absolutely, it’s your time to rock the house and show everyone who you are and what you worked so hard for!

Why do you love lifting weights? 
It’s a time where no one can touch you or say anything to you at all. You just zone out and focus on yourself... it helps relieve stress!  It may sound crazy but I love the exhausted feeling when you’re done!

Tell us what a typical day is like your you. 
Not fun, lol! … Getting up and getting ready is the tough part!  Packing the days worth of food in the cooler and out the door I go.  I train  clients from 8:30-1:00, then train from 2:00-3:30 then back at it from 4:00-6:00 training victims, lol … Then back home to clean and refill all containers with my food for the next day!... I’ll check email and facebook then relax and eat my last meal then off to bed for another fun filled day! 

Do you like to show off your muscles when out in public or do you cover up? 
Trick Question? Mmm let’s see .. Love to show them off!   

It’s crazy the looks I get. I’m def bringing a hidden camera with me one of these times!  Sometimes it does get bothersome when we try to go out and enjoy ourselves away from work and you spend half your evening talking to people about diet and training. No one knows when to stop asking questions!

What misconception about bodybuilding would you like to dispel?  
That women can lift weights and still be strong, sexy and beautiful !!

What kind of stuff would we find in the backseat of your car? 
Gym bags, Protein shakes, coolers and water!  Yep doesn’t seem right  I know!

Favorite movie actor/actress? 
Adam Sandler

Person you would like to meet?  (Living or dead) 
Michael Jackson of course! Most of my best lifts were always to his songs!!!!!!

Anything else we should know about you? 
I am a very open, passionate, caring, and fun person who loves to help others reach their goals in the fitness industry.  I love to have a good time, that’s what life is all about!  Time for work and defiantly time for play!!!  But when you’re not training, someone else is…. And when you meet you will lose!  The lifestyle is Eat, Sleep, Train - nothing more and nothing less!
