I'm a junk food-aholic who keeps herself in check by training for Figure competitions! I was inspired by a fellow coworker to compete and I hope that in my competing I will inspire someone else to take control of their health and find whatever it is that makes them feel alive!

What motivates you to lead a lifestyle that is healthy and active? I have an 8 year old son and it is very important to me to be a good role model for him by eating healthy foods and exercising regularly and having fun.

What do you do for a living…when you get a break from the gym..lol?

What goals do you want to achieve in the fitness industry?
My goal is to continue competing in Figure until I get my Pro card. I am also toying with the idea of trying bodybuilding at some natural shows. I'd also love to do some fitness modeling, I'm open to a lot!

Is there anyone you would like to thank?
My trainer Nate, husband Heath and son Brayden for being so supportive, my family for coming out to my shows and all my friends and co-workers who are constantly encouraging me during training and inquiring about how things are going
