I started weight and cardiovascular training 8 years ago at Vic Tanny's in Michigan. I never had anyone show me the machines so I didn't know proper execution. At this time I was a size 9-10 and although I was fairly thin, I had no definition at all. I mainly did aerobics and step class, played around with the weights best I knew how, and ran the track.

Down the line I met a trainer he showed me the ropes. It wasn't long before I was able to bring my weight down and I achieved a size 5 which I am at currently.

I finally got up the courage to step on stage in my first Physique competition. It was the Designer Body show in Maui, HI in June of 2001. I took first place against 26 other girls. It was an incredible feeling! it only got better when

I received another title taking first in the Designer Body show in Oahu, HI. Little did I know that these contests would open up so many doors for me. I've since been featured in several bodybuilding/fitness magazines including: MuscleMag, IronMan Magazine, Muscle & Fitness, American Curves, Natural Muscle, Planet Muscle to name a few.

I am currently sponsored by Twin Lab for their National advertising campaign for Diet Fuel for 2003. My first appearance was at the Olympia in Vegas, to hand out samples at their booth. There I competed in Weider's first ever Ms. Muscle Beach competition and took first place. My next appearance was at the GNC Show of Strength in New Orleans. Next I'll continue on to the Arnold Classic. It's wonderful to be able to now be a part of the expo, as years ago I was just a visitor. I've got to meet so many people who I've looked up to and who have inspired me.

I hope you've enjoyed learning a little bit more about me! I'll have plenty more exciting things to share with you in the near future...this is just the beginning!

Kisses,
