Biography:

2012 was an amazing and enlightening year for me. It was my fist year participating in competitions. In October I was awarded a photography package with fitness photographer Dave Laus. This was my first time stepping on stage (this was for Inside Fitness Magazine) and it had a profound effect on me and on my level of motivation. I wanted to experience more and to see what I could accomplish if I pushed myself harder.

In the ensuing weeks and with a lot of hard work and dedication, I participated in a Fitness Star Network show where I placed top ten out of 50 female competitors. The following week I placed 3rd out of 40 competitors in Ultimate Fitness Events (UFE). With the National Championships just around the corner in November, I saw that as a perfect opportunity to further improve my conditioning and with a lot of hard work and dedication, I managed to place 4th! The icing on the cake for what was already a milestone year for me came with my photograph placing 5th on the Inside Fitness Hot and Fit 100 publication. I am passionate about fitness and health and hope to share my journey with others.
