Competition history: I started competing in 2010. I've been going to the gym since I've been 5 years old with my dad. I was the college girl who didn't eat late night and woke up to walk to the gym. My passion allowed me to get through many difficult times; such as the diagnosis of my son with autism and my mom's passing. Focusing on competitions is a fulfilling challenge and is my stress relief. I love it!!
Next competition: North Americans-August 30, 2014.
If someone followed you for the day what would they be most surprised about? Lol... Probably just how nuts I am. I am a little OCD about things.
What is your preferred tanning product and why? Not sure I really have one. I had various experiences with the different companies at shows... I never really have been disappointed :)
Who would you like to thank? My mom, who died in 2010, and was the most important person in my life. My coach, Matt, who is there 24/7 and on top of everything. My boyfriend Howard whose support is tremendous. He keeps me smiling/ laughing even on hard days. My kids, who keep me on my toes and make fun of their nuts mom, her gross food, etc.
