Why NPC: I love the professionalism and pride of the NPC/IFBB. It is truly and honor to be a professional athlete in this federation.
What do you like best about competing? WOW, everything!! There are two things that I really love about competing. First, all of the amazing people I meet and the relationships I have built through competing. I have met some of my best friends in the last two years. Second, is the feeling of accomplishment when I step on that stage everytime I compete. It's knowing that all of the sweat, super early mornings and crazy cravings were worth the sacrafice. I love every aspect of competing and all the preparation and hard work I put in to get to that point.
