How does your family respond to your competing? My family fully supports my competitive nature and goals. My sister designs and hand embellishes most of my competition suits.
What kind of goals have you set for yourself, short-term and long-term? My short term goals are to increase my running in the next few months and as a result, streamlining my legs with more fine detail. Another short term goal is to complete my personal training and sports nutrition certifications. My long term goals are to utilize my contacts through competing and my continual growth of knowledge to train clients with precision expertise. I am continually striving to improve physically and mentally in my quest to obtain my IFBB Pro card. I would love to compete professionally for a few more years then eventually start a family while maintaining a career as not only a trainer, but as a lifestyle consultant.
What's currently on your iPod? I listen to a lot of house, dance, vocal trance, hip hop, some rock and 80’s on my IPOD. I train to Dash Berlin, Cold Play, and even Eddie Murphy.
What are your hobbies and interests outside of the bodybuilding world? I love to try new foods, and always attempt to make them without a recipe book. I’m pretty good at it. Another favorite past time is travelling and experiencing different cultures.
Do you have a favorite exercise? My favorite exercise is the walking deep lunge with dumbbells. I save these for the last part of my leg workout to really get the burn.

Who would you like to thank? I am so thankful to have the undying support of my boyfriend to train and diet with me through my bumpy roller coaster rides this past season. I would also like to thank my sister for all her help in creating my beautiful suits.
