Bodybuilder

HOW/WHY STARTED LIFTING WEIGHTS:
My parents bought me my first weight set when I was in junior high due to my fascination with Cory Everson. I had her poster on my wall and thought she had the ideal female physique.  I was in athletics from 6th grade on, and during the conditioning times, I always outlifted the other girls...and some of the guys! I became serious about bodybuilding when I was 22 years old.  After nine years of intense training and developing a stageworthy physique, I entered and won overall at my first bodybuilding competition.

COMPETITION HISTORY:
1999 Lackland Classic (novice heavyweight and overall winner)
2000 Texas State Championship (open heavyweight runner up)
2002 John Sherman Classic (open heavyweight winner)
2002 Nationals (heavyweight-13th)

2003 Nationals - 7th Place Heavyweight

2004 Nationals - 1st Place Heavyweight & Overall

2006 Europa Super Show - 7th Place (pro debut)

HOBBIES:
I certainly don't fit the stereotype of the typical female bodybuilder...I love to shop for girly things such as purses, makeup, jewelry, etc... I believe maintaining your feminity in this sport is critical. I also enjoy researching things of interest on the internet. I am an avid boxing fan and even trained for a match a few years ago which never came about due to my shift back to bodybuilding. Thankfully I did because I was able to reach a goal of mine to become an IFBB Pro!

FUTURE PLANS:
After a devastating bicep injury in mid-2005, I have worked very hard to get back into top shape as I plan for my pro debut in 2006. Where I go from here is yet to be determined. As long as I love it, I will continue to compete in this ever-changing sport that I have chosen...or did it choose me? *wink*
