I am Ms. Figure America 2007, a Natural Figure Professional, a writer for Planet Muscle Fitness Magazine, Fitness Expert and a personal trainer. After moving to Florida from California, 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 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 where I won the Overall Figure title.In November 2007, I competed at the FAME North American Championships where I won the advanced division, and became a WNSO Figure Professional.Two weeks later I competed at the Ms. Figure America in Los Angeles, California. I won the short class, and the Overall title.I am now focusing on building my personal training business in Pompano Beach, Florida. And I will be preparing for Figure Universe in June www.UniverseWeekend.com, and WBFF World Championships in September, 2009. My ultimate goal is to have my own fitness related television show.
