At the age of 29, my then boyfriend saw some of my old photo's and remarked that I could be a model. With this new encouragement I was motivated to get back in shape and renew my dream. Learning the connection between diet, exercise and discipline, not only did I get back in shape, I got into the best shape of my life! This new discipline and direction of purpose eventually led to modeling work and publications. However, no amount of exercise will give you supermodel height so my modeling work did have it's limitations. But like the saying goes, "If you got lemons.. make lemonade."

While staying in shape for modeling, photographers and models always remarked how great my abs looked. I also began taking my nutrition and training more seriously in & outside of the gym, before I knew it, it became a life style. I had begun giving tips and training other models about fitness as well as doing more fitness related modeling, which eventually led to competing in figure competitions. Competing not only got me more modeling work, but it rekindled the tomboy in me.

I learned the technical side of fitness and began personal training in between modeling and promotional work. I discovered that I really loved helping people achieve there fitness goals and turning their lives around by finding their best version of themselves underneath the fat.
