What motivates you to lead a lifestyle that is healthy and active?
I love the way I feel when I’m active and healthy! I feel light and alive! And that definitely beats the bogged down, bloated feeling I get from eating unhealthful foods! Nothing motivates me more than the feeling of achieving my athletic goals and then maintaining the strong physique it has helped me to build. I also want to enjoy as many days on this earth with my loved ones as possible as well as travel and see the beautiful creations the earth offers. Living a healthy lifestyle is one of the key things that you can personally control in order achieve all of your other dreams!

Favorite cheat meal? : FOOD! ;) I would have to say that pizza, chocolate and cookies are my favorites

What do you do for a living…when you get a break from the gym..lol?
I work in commercial real estate, concentrating on industrial and office, on a 5-member team. I’ve been working in the industry for close to 8 years now. It’s a great field!

Do you find it hard to date and/or be married when training for shows or when you lead a super healthy lifestyle?
I could go on and on answering this one but I’ll narrow it down! I’ve lived a healthy lifestyle and have been active in sports my entire life, so I’ve always been involved with athletic, in-shape men that lead a similar lifestyle. Personally, I just couldn’t be involved with someone that doesn’t have that similar lifestyle. Being committed to someone that has the same mindset and fitness goals certainly makes understanding each other and our individual goals easier, but it doesn’t make it perfect! My first season competing started in February 2008 and I will be honest and say that the time commitment, exhaustion and dietary restraints did take a toll on me and my relationship! Now that I’ve had time to look back on it and understand why, I know this upcoming season will be much better! Everything in life depends on your attitude towards it and towards life in general! This season, both my boyfriend and I are looking forward to the hard work training-wise and diet-wise because we’ll be going through it together. His diet and exercise routine will be ramped up for running track and triathlons and mine will be for figure competitions. This strengthens our bond and helps push each other toward our goals. Overall, I can see how this lifestyle can adversely affect relationships, but at the core of making it work is communication, respect and understanding for each other and each other’s goals. When you have that, you can overcome the struggles. 

What goals do you want to achieve in the fitness industry?
I would like to add more muscle and mature existing muscle to be a top-level national competitor and thereafter, an IFBB Pro Competitor. I am looking forward to sponsorship and photography opportunities. I also want to share the knowledge I’ve gained with anyone that has questions! I enjoy sharing the intricacies of both the healthful lifestyle and the figure contest prepping process and want more people to embrace it rather than run from it.

What do you think is your best feature or bodypart? : I love my back! I had no idea how to “flare my lats” or that I even had lats pri

Is there anyone you would like to thank?
I would like to thank my parents (mom, dad, step-dad), friends and boyfriend for their unwavering support. There are good days and bad days and I thank them all for cheering me through the good and holding my hand through the bad!
