Why did you get into fitness and or modeling?
Fitness was a natural transition for me after many years
of being a competitive athlete. I played Volleyball, Basketball and Tennis
in High-school and went to College on a Tennis Scholarship. I always loved
working out in the gym to improve my athletic abilities. Once I put down
the tennis rackets I spent more time in the gym and started taking up
some gymnastics training. People started to see me training so hard in
the gym and began to suggest I should compete. I thought it sounded like
a lot of fun so I decided to compete in my first fitness show. Many competitions
and injuries later, I switched to the Figure Category where I received
my Pro Card in August 2003’.Where do you see yourself in five years?
In five years am sure I will still be involved with both
the Fitness and Physical Therapy industries. I plan to have my first book
written and published by then. I will probably still reside in Southern
California, although you never know where life will take you!! Hopefully
I will have met Mr. Right and be settled down with starting a family...

I have been in Ms. Fitness, Ironman, and NPC news magazines
etc.. I recieved my Pro Card in August 2003 at Team Universe Nationals in New York.
I competed in my first two Pro Shows this year (2004), the Cal and the
New York. I am currently getting ready for a full year of competition in 2005’
