How does your family respond to your competing?
My first show was in June of 2012 and my mom and dad came to watch me. They were so proud of how much dedication and focus that it entailed to get to that point. That October my dad passed away from a long battle with cancer. He always wanted me to give 100% in whatever I did, and to this day, I think he would be proud of me. My mom is one of my biggest fans. She has actually begun to get back into fitness because she can see how much the body changes with a change in diet and dedication to the gym. My biggest fan has to be my fiancé though. He has been wonderful! He gives me so much support and just continues to push me to my limits. I wont lie, I don't wake up full of energy every single day, and the days that I don’t, he makes sure to keep me on track with my eating, cardio and weight training. He is a blessing!!!!
What kind of goals have you set for yourself, short-term and long-term?
My short-term goal is to take Overall at a National level show. Once I turn Pro, I want to turn around and do my Pro Debut and I want to win it and earn enough points to step on the Olympia stage. Think big to go big, right?
I want to inspire the people around me and show women that they can come from nothing. I constantly upload pictures on what I used to look like compared to now. I remind them that it did NOT come over night, it has been 2 years of hard work to get to where I am now, and I feel like it will just keep going up from here!!
Nothing that lasts ever happens fast!!
What's currently on your iPod?
Oh boy, I have a mixture of everything!! All the way from Skrillex to Allen Jackson! My favorite music to listen to while working out has to be dubstep, though..I mean, its all in the ‘drop’ haha..
What are your hobbies and interests outside of the bodybuilding world?
Im really a home body. I love to relax, kick back, and watch a good movie with my fiancé and two dogs! I love date nights, too!! During summer, you can find me at the lake when I'm not at the gym!!
Do you have a favorite exercise?
It may be weird since Im a girl, but I LOVE chest day!! I love bench presses!
I also love shoulders and glutes! My favorite shoulder exercise has to be Arnold presses and my favorite glute exercise has to be bridges!! Buns of steel!!

Favorite Fitness Tip:
Don’t give up and never say you can’t! People don't realize that so much of fitness is mental. Whether it be mind-muscle connection or even something as simple as someone thinking they can’t do something. When you stay focused, so much can be achieved!!
Who would you like to thank?
I would love to thank my mom and dad for making me the person that I am today. Giving something 98% is un-acceptable. Give it your all no matter what! Give it 100%!! Thats how I was raised and I thank God everyday for giving me the parents that I am so blessed to have!
I would also love to thank my fiancé for pushing me every day and helping me along my journey! I couldn't ask for a better man in my life. When you find that special someone, you'll know its the right one when all they want is to see you succeed!!
