I was born and raised in Queens NY. I now live in White Plains, NY. I started working out about 10 years ago and I took to the gym l very well . I started seeing changes in my physique right away and it got me so excited that I just wanted to train harder and learn as much as I could on any topic related to fitness. I became obsessed with muscle. My trainer Gerry was very instrumental in my early years. He was my mentor from the start. It was he who encouraged me to get certified to be a personal trainer ( I was working unhappily in the garment district of NYC at the time, which is what I went to college for - Fashion). And it was he who encouraged me to do my first fitness competition. A decision that changed my life. I competed for a few years and then quit in 2001 to concentrate on my personal training business. But in the end of 2003 I decided to come back to sport and see what I can do against the current field of girls who were competeing in figure. I am glad to report that I won my class and the overall at both shows. In 2004 I am only competing in the 3 pro-qualifier shows. They are the JR USA's, the JUNIOR NATIONALS, and the Figure Nationals. My short term goal is to get my pro card at one of these shows. My long term goal is to win an IFBB Figure show before I end my carreer. Wish Me luck :)

Training split...

I change up my routines regularly and use instinctive training depending how I feel on that day. But my most current split is as follows:

Sunday : Hams/Glutes
Monday: Chest/Bis
Tuesday: Shoulders/Calves
Wednesday: Quads/Hams/Glutes
Thursday: Abs/Tris
Friday: Back/Calves
Saturday: Off

I only do cardio durring pre-contest diet which is usually 8 weeks out from a show. I rely more on my diet than I do cardio to get me lean. And I stay in pretty good shape all year round and eat clean so I don't have to go crazy to prepare myself or make too many changes to get ready for a competition.
