What is your favorite childhood memory? My favorite childhood memory would be jumping rope all day long with the kids on my block in the city.
Name a song that motivates you. Eminem-Lose Yourself- This song has gotten me through many workouts and moments of self doubt.
What is your biggest gym pet peeve? My biggest gym pet peeve is when someone finishes using a piece of equipment and leaves the pin in the weight stack! The next person to use it may get injured if not paying attention.
How do you like to reward yourself? I reward myself with 2 things: a fabulous meal or a request to my honey for a weekend getaway (that one is only for significant accomplishments such as sticking to a contest diet!)
If you could change one things about the world what would it be? If I could change one thing about the world it would be to stop people from making fun of others who are obese. It is the cruelest thing when a person attacks someone about the way they look.
What do you do right before you step onstage? Right before I step on stage I visualize how the crowd will respond to my performance. I see myself doing my routine and entertaining the judges and audience. I want my respect for this sport to come through by doing the best I can out there.

If someone followed you for the day what would they be most surprised about? If someone followed me around for the day they would most likely be surprised by how much I think about and contemplate eating candy….not chocolate…the good stuff like nerds, runts, laffy taffy, candy corn, sugar babies…that kind of stuff. This is why I can completely empathize with people trying to change their eating habits and try to help them to feel ok being honest about what they are doing and how they really feel about making changes.
What is your preferred tanning product and why? I swear by Protan so far because I can control my level of color and it sinks in nicely
Favorite Quote: Not quite sure...my Italian mother had alot of "quotes" she used to share with us...but they may not be suitable to print
