Background
I am an actress, model, booking agent, and a fitness professional. After being a competitive gymnast for
over 10 years, I attended a fitness school in Boca Raton,
Florida called the Fitness Institute. In a year and a half, I
graduated from there as a fully-qualified, certified personal
training specialist, CPTS. Soon after, I went on to take my
NSCA exam and became certified in that organization as well.
In early 2005, I had some photos taken and
posted them on a popular modeling web site, and that is when I realized I could turn my passion for a healthy lifestyle into a career. I quickly realized that there was quite a demand for new faces in the fitness industry.
I knew the combination of my extensive gymnastics background,
knowledge of exercise science and intense drive would prove to be very useful if I found an avenue that
interested me enough.
I saw figure competitions as the
perfect outlet for my fitness goals and knew that by
competing in such events, I could not only stay in great shape, but I could develop media interest as well. I made the decision to compete in a local
bodybuilding show called the 2005 NPC Southern States
Figure Championship contest where I won the Overall Figure
title.
Other fitness titles Include:
- 2005 Miss Bikini Universe Finalist (runner-up)
- 2005 IFBB North American (3rd place)
- 2006 Junior Nationals 8th out of 52 competitors.
Magazine front covers include:
- Hot Boat Magazine (June 2007)
- Fitness & Physique (May 2007)
- Miami Life magazine (May 2007 issue)
- People Magazine Australia (April 2007)
- Planet Muscle (January 2007)
- X Fitness (January 2007)
- Natural Muscle (May 2006)
Other editorial features:
- Knockout Magazine (December 2006)
- FHM's 20 Hottest Dates (April 2006)
- Body Magazine (October 2006)
I recently went back to one of my passions and am pursuing my acting career as well.
I'm currently co-starring in an online cinema adventure called
'Underground Bounty Hunter'. It's my first film and I play an
assassin.
