I got into fitness about 5 years ago and as I met so many amazing people in the industry, I started to love my new weekly routine of weighsut sessions, cardio and healthy eating habits! It started to be my priority and I love every second spent at the gym and learning more about the fitness and bodybuilding industry.
One of my first inspirations was US fitness model Marzia Prince who I was lucky enough to meet and have a chat with at Melbourne’s FitX last year.
I am very happy and proud to say that I feel on top of the world after winning 2011 NABBA Queensland Sportsmodel Championship! I absolutely loved being on stage as I am in the best shape of my life and I have worked so hard for it! Twelve weeks of hard dieting, training and preparation have definitely paid off and I was so confident on the day, as I knew I gave it 110 per cent!
I was so focused, determined and strong the entire comp prep and wanted to prove to myself that I can be one of those fitness models I used to look at in the magazines. I continue to push myself and train hard all year round, never go off limits and stick to my daily routine of fitness and healthy living.
Now I am preparing for three big shows for the start of 2012: IFBB FitX in Melbourne, IFBB Australasia in Sydney and NABBA Southern Hemisphere in Queensland. I love working in the industry and being surrounded by positive and healthy people!
I help a lot of girls with diet, supplements and training plans, as well as write a number of blogs and articles for Genesis Nutrition Australia to try and help others achieve the results they want and have their dream body.
I would love to compete in the USA next year, at the 2013 Arnold Classic and in Canada at the WBFF Bikini comps!
