I am the first female over 40 to win her class at both the USA Championship and the National Championship in the same year.
- My Pro debut was August 2009 at the Atlantic City Pro
- My first competition EVER was in California, 1991
- My motivation comes from just wanting to be a better athlete each and every time I step into the gym.
No one could have convinced me that I would ever reach a professional status in bodybuilding. It never really occurred to me as being an important factor in my approach to training. I started lifting in 1984 and just never stopped. I make every workout count, consistency is what got me here and it is the very thing that will continue to make me improve. Although my first love was soccer; I played for over 20 years. Soccer and weightlifting was what I loved, and still love now. I only aspire to be the best athlete and person I can be. I feel blessed that I have the opportunity to represent a company I wholeheartedly believe in. Using VPX products has taken my workouts to whole different level of intensity. When you've been doing this for as long as I have, you look for ways to increase your mental focus and that's what it does for me. My overall performance to date has shattered the records I set as a power lifter in the mid 90's when I was ranked 6th in the nation by leaps and bounds. I continue to strive for my personal best and don't see any reason for that to change. People have said that women's bodybuilding is a dying breed. I say to that, depends on who you are. Bodybuilding of today does not define me, on the contrary, I define it as I see fit for myself and this breed isn't dying for awhile!
