I began my fitness career in my home town of Brookfield, MO when I was currently taking a step aerobics class and the instructor broke his foot and asked me to fill in for his class. I then began teaching step aerobics and ab sculpting classes. This also introduced me to weight training and I fell in love with the way I felt and how my body began to make amazing changes. I continued to teach step aerobics for 13 years and during that time began helping others individually with weight training programs.

 

I moved to Columbia in 2003 and began to work at a gym as a personal trainer and also began teaching spinning classes. In 2005 I decided to take my training to another level and signed up to compete in my very first Figure Competition. I instantly fell in love with the sport and soon after my first show decided to compete again.

 

My list of Figure accomplishments are as follows:

 

2008 NANBF Natural KC Gold’s Classic - Novice Figure Medium 5^th place

2009 Tulsa Naturals - Novice Figure 3^rd place

2009 Tulsa Naturals - Open Figure 5^th place

2009 Tulsa Natural Overall Best Figure Presentation

2010 KC Championships - Novice Figure Medium 2^nd Place

2010 KC Championships - Open Figure 2^nd Place

 

I will soon compete in my first Bikini Competition in April 2011. I also give nutritional guidance and instruct Figure Posing Sessions to women of all ages who are also interested in competing in Figure and Bikini Competitions.

　

Training clients and prepping for the show season keeps my mind focused. In January 2011 I will continue my educational program toward receiving my degree in Health Science. I am constantly researching new types of exercises and ways to incorporate them into training sessions and will continue grow and to educate myself through various seminars and educational courses.

 

I love working with people of all ages and fitness levels and helping keep others motivated to reach their goals. It is an amazing feeling to me to know that a client is improving their health, lifestyle, and self-esteem because of the guidance that I’ve provided to them. Let me help you create a healthier you from the inside out!
