Q&A

How long have you been training?
I have been training competitively since 1999. I have always had a passion for bodybuilding and truly love the sport all the way around: "Passion for the steel and hunger for the burn." I have always been athletic, both as a sports participant and as a sports fan!


What would like to see done to help improve or promote the sport?
We need to better appreciate the accomplishments of all these athletes. That includes acceptance of all body types within the sport and at the competitions. We need more consistency in judging criteria: mean what you say; say what you mean; and make it concrete. The public needs to come to appreciate the art of our sport and the beauty of it; to respect the physiques and put aside the negative opinions of a select few. This is what makes Bodybuilding great: The fact we are all different, yet so much alike!

We need fewer value judgments and more appreciation. I am truly inspired by people who have overcome the odds against them. Real people making a difference in the real world. That's what pushes, drives, motivates, and inspires me to be the best I can be as an athlete, an individual, and a friend!


Do you get negative comments from people with regard to your muscles?
I am blessed that I do not receive negative comments. Should any such comments be made in private, I do not hear about them nor do I wish to. Keeping it real and positive and maintaining femininity makes life a lot easier. I am well accepted in the sport; fans and judges alike have shown their appreciation of my hard work and progress.


Have you ever surprised yourself with you own strength? Like you forgot you were THAT strong???
Yes, many times. For instance, in the gym when, for the first time, I squatted 450lbs for 17-20 reps or benched 150-155lbs for 7-10 reps. And outside the gym, when I am often challenged to display my strength in wrestling, lifting, moving heavy items, etc. When I realize my own strength, it amazes me and I get all giggly and happy. It also sometimes scares me, knowing I can be that strong.  It's all in the mind. It was truly said: "It does not take much strength to do things, but it requires great strength to decide what to do."


How have you used your physical strength, outside the gym, when it has come in handy?
Yes, I am often challenged to display my strength. Those challenges get me fired up. They help me prove I can be that strong when I am not sure of my own strength. Knowing I can be so strong is amazing. There are some days when I am weak and do not have the strength. I just get positive, get focused, and say to myself "I CAN DO IT!" I Think It ... Believe It ... and Never Give Up. Remember: "Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will."


Any message for fans?
Be the best that you can be; believe in yourself; and know that you can do it. Have self-confidence, determination, and pride with a good attitude. Never accept failure, no matter how often it visits you; keep on going never give up. Something to ponder: If you think you are beaten, you are. If you think you dare not, you don't. If you like to win but think you can't, it's certain you won't. If you think you will lose, you're lost.For out in this world, we find success begins with a person's will. It's all in your state of mind: If you think you're out-classed, then you are.

You have got to think high to rise; you have got to be sure of yourself before you can ever achieve the prize. Life's contests don't always go to the faster or stronger person; but sooner or later, the person who wins is the person who THINKS THEY CAN!

What else you would like to share?
I am a licensed staff insurance agent and a certified personal trainer.

My wholehearted thanks to my family, friends, and fans who continually give their warm love and support to me and to my passion for the sport of bodybuilding. That is much appreciated, and I am truly grateful and blessed. I would also like to wish you many blessings and always the best success in all your endeavors.

Always believe in yourself. So many times we create our own destiny by the effects of what is positive or negative in our lives. Believing in one's ability to succeed or fail in life is up to each of us. If you believe something is going to go bad before you even attempt it, you might as well chalk one up for failure. Nothing is truer than the statement: "You become what you believe." So the next time you are attempting something positive in your life — whether it is training in the gym, a new relationship, or a new job — dare to believe that it will succeed. Stay healthy and strong in mind, body and spirit.
