Best Contest Placing(s):

I feel very fortunate that I have placed in the top five in every bodybuilding contest in which I have entered. To me this is a huge accomplishment. My last show was the 2008 Arnold Amateur Classic, I was in the light heavy class and placed 5th. I'm a natural for life competitor and feel that I have held my ground very well against my fellow competitors. And it's been a very pleasurable experience and the competitors are awesome.

Role Models in Bodybuilding/Fitness:

My mother was a bodybuilder and my first role model. She introduced me to the sport and inspired me through her dedication and desire to compete. My other roll model was my college professor Dr. Ellen Robinson from Bridgewater State College. She gave me the confidence and reassurance I needed to get back on to the stage and compete again, and I am extremely grateful to her for doing so. She seen the potential in me that I didn't.

Bodybuilders/Fitness Competitors who physiques you most admire: Corey Everson and Lenda Murray

Bodybuilders/Fitness Competitors whose personalities you most admire: Ha, I admire every single competitor’s personality. Each one is unique and brings with them something different, congrats to all!!

Highlight(s) of Career: Every competition brings with it great new experiences and the joy of meeting new people. Also, being able to inspire and be inspired by other. It fills me with a great deal of satisfaction and accomplishment. The Arnold Armature 2008 was my recent highlight. Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would make it this far, but I'm not done yet.

Biggest Disappointment(s) of Career:

My biggest disappointment was one organization that I tried out and found it wasn't judged fairly. It was more about who you knew. Being a NPC regional judge and having competed numerous times I knew that the competitors that should have placed much higher weren't even making top 5. Needless to say I only competed once in that organization and haven’t looked back; it's a shame and a big disappointment.

What would you be doing if you weren't a Bodybuilder?

Hmmm, I don't know. I do whatever makes me happy. I enjoy drawing and art, playing sports, computers and electronics, photography, modeling, learning, and helping others. Maybe I would dedicate more time to those things if I didn't body build. Bodybuilding is just a piece of who I am.

What you like most about Bodybuilding?

I love the whole experience!

Well it's not a dislike it's more like being out of my comfort zone and that would be doing my posing routine. I think I would feel much more comfortable if I had a choreographer.

Have fun, no matter what the placing you are a winner just for being up on that stage!
