Division: NPC Figure
Age: 38

I never thought I would be able to get into shape after college! I had gained so much weight while in school and it seemed to be impossible to lose. Finally, when I reached 160 pounds, I made a goal for myself. Not only to lose the weight I had gained, but to one day compete in a figure competition. I went right to the best, NPC. I competed in my NPC Figure Competition in 2003 and have continued competing ever since. Thanks to my trainer, Kim Oddo, who helped me reach my goals and not only lose the weight I had gained, but helped transform my body into that of a figure competitor. Before working with Kim, I had no idea what I was doing or how to prep for a show. Competing in the NPC helped me believe in myself and what I can accomplish through consistent hard work, determination and proper nutrition. It’s a constant work in progress, but I feel as though now ….I will be forever fit!
Competing in the NPC is especially important to me now because I have 2 young daughters and I really want to be a strong, positive, role model for them. Kids can be cruel and I want to instill in my daughters the belief that they can accomplish anything they set their mind to. They love seeing me compete and they are very aware when mommy sets a goal, she WILL accomplish it. That’s what I hope they carry with them through their whole life. I want to be a positive example to them throughout their life and teach them the importance of living a healthy lifestyle.
My main focus in life has always been my daughters but I continue to add small goals to my plate every year. After each pregnancy I made sure to give myself ample rest and recovery time and then get right back into competing. I keep active within the NPC and try to compete annually. Goal setting is important for me and them! Here is a list of my competition history with the NPC:
