What motivates you to lead a lifestyle that is healthy and active?
All of my life I have been involved in sports, and weight training. It is my purpose for being here, ….helping others achieve their goals. It makes me…ME! I love it and I am not GRETCHEN, if I don’t exercise 

Favorite cheat meal? : Hamburger, French fries and a slice of carrot cake  YUMMY!

What do you do for a living…when you get a break from the gym..lol?
I am a personal trainer/nutritionist and I own my own business and training facility. GST Fitness & Wellness. www.gstfitness.com

Do you find it hard to date and/or be married when training for shows or when you lead a super healthy lifestyle?
Actually, nope. My hubby and I were training partners before anything else. There is a common LOVE for training, discipline, etc that we share. You have to find YOUR balance. Where does your contest prep fit in your life, balancing out being a mother, wife, business owner, trainer, competitor, etc. I have everyone in my family involved. Taylor, our daughter, is my FOOD POLICE..she watches everything that goes in my mouth. She also helps me with my posing and choosing my music. My hubby, train with me, helps make my meals, but most importantly, is MY ROCK! He is by my side the whole way…..everyone is..includiing my friends and clients. I have a TEAM….and I am very blessed to have that GREAT TEAM! I know that I couldn’t do this by myself! It takes a TEAM to get to the top! Together Everyone Achieves More

What goals do you want to achieve in the fitness industry?
I hope to have a positive influence on others, and let them know that you can do anything if you believe and have faith. Go after all of your wants, dreams desires…you can achieve them all! Perservere….when times get tough, get back up when you fall….and you will, because we all do! Dust yourself off and go at it again! You can do it!

What do you think is your best feature or bodypart? : Hmm..I suppose my legs and my back. I have a love/hate relationship with traini

Is there anyone you would like to thank?
How much space do I have..and how much time do you have to read? LOL! First and foremost, The Lord and my Savoir Jesus Christ for brining me into this world. My parents, for raising me to BELIEVE in myself and go after my dreams. My hubby, for always supporting me and being there for me! Taylor, my sweet angel, the best daughter a mommy could ask for . My great friend Monica Brant- Peckham, for planting the seed in me to compete in 2006, then introducing me to her Nutritionist Kim Oddo! My Nutritionist, Kim Oddo, for bringing out the best in me, pushing me higher and higher, and for your friendship, knowledge and expertise, you truly are a GIFT from above! All my clients and friends…YOUR SUPPORT MEANS THE WORLDTO ME! THANKS!
