Q
How Did You Get Started?

I got started about 4 years ago by taking up kickboxing, and just loved the way it made me feel and look at that time. I jogged 5k as well every day, and did yoga 5 days per week. Then, it all went downhill. I ended up having the fear of becoming overweight, and I began overdoing my workouts and not eating enough to fuel them.

Right then I knew I had to do something about this, not for my sake but for my children's, so I did. With my faith in Jesus I prayed for Him to help me, and He did, by sending me to my first bodybuilding event, and that's when it hit me, when I saw these beautiful Figure girls come out on stage, and I knew that's what I was to do.

With the help of God and His Grace I am who I am now, all because of Him. God has blessed me with the people that He has sent to me, to help me to get where I am at now. I have come to learn a lot about the sport that I am in, and I love it.
