How does your family respond to your competing?
At first they didn’t quite understand it but after watching and being a part of it they all couldn’t be more proud and have decided to take on the healthy lifestyle as best they can. They are extremely influenced by my path to compete.

What kind of goals have you set for yourself? Short-term and long-term?
Short term I want to find a job that fits more in the realm of health and influences me to go to school. I want to continue going to the gym and staying fit. Long term, I plan on working to the best of my ability to gain my pro card and go to school for physical therapy in sports science. I also want a good long standing life with my boyfriend Jamie and want us to get our ducks in a row to start a serious life and family.
What's currently on your iPod?
So many different tunes are on my iPod. I tend to switch it up but I listen a lot to Disturbed and Avenged Sevenfold when I workout. Cardio is a different story and tends to be Lady Gaga or Britney Spears. I listen to a lot of completely different genres.
What are your hobbies and interests outside of the bodybuilding world?
I love so much anything to do with the outdoors it’s ridiculous. Running is a great therapeutic tool for me as well as snowboarding, hiking, rock climbing, and many others that follow. I do modeling on the side for fun, but have excelled in it in many ways. Modeling was partially a reason I got so hell bent into fitness and it took off. My body gravitated toward the more athletic side and just developed quickly after that. I stuck with it for many years and little did I know it would lead me to compete. I also love to sing. That was a downfall of mine for a little bit. I had a weakness for karaoke. I also adore movies. A good movie seems hard to find these days. Relaxing is one of the best hobbies I could have. Sports science has completely intrigued me and I do not want to do anything more than pursue it.
Do you have a favorite exercise?
I love to work on my glutes. Squats are something I love to perfect. I always feel amazing after a great leg day and love to watch the progression. My arms are my strength. They build almost supernaturally fast. For 5’6” I’ve managed to reach slightly over 13” biceps. Crazy I know!
Competition history: This is my 1st year competing but I don’t ever see it being my last. The Denver Open 2014 was my 1st. Placed 1st bikini novice C and 1st in bikini open C as well as overall bikini Novice C.
The Denver Northern 2014 was my second and most recent competition where I placed 2nd in Bikini Novice C and 2nd in Bikini Open E.

Next competition: I may compete in the 2014 Colorado State Championships where I’m crossing my fingers to obtain a second overall. After that I will be competing in a National show.
Favorite Fitness Tip: Keep going! Even when you think you’re ready and about to quit you have to push yourself. This is a mental game more than a physical one.
Who would you like to thank?
My trainer Adam Bonilla! He’s taken my fitness and health training to a completely new level and I couldn’t have expected more from myself. My loving partner Jamie, he has been an amazing strength and companion for me. I could have never asked for more. I get more back in return because of the depth of love we have for each other. My friends and family for all the support, love and help when I need it most. All the fitness advocates out there that influence me to want a better body and strive to be stronger every day.
