I’ve been an athlete for most of my life, competing from a young age in martial arts.  I started lifting weights at 14, and fell in love with the iron from day one!  I have always been the girl that wants to lift as heavy as the guys, (or heavier!) which really helped build my physique early on.  I used to look at magazines like Muscle and Fitness Hers and Oxygen and wanted to look like the girls on the cover.  Then, one day I saw a fitness competition on ESPN and realized I could combine my love for the weights with my athletics skills.  I’ve been hooked since my first show!

Winning the National Fitness Championships to turn Pro in Fitness and competing at the most prestigious of all shows – the Arnold Classic!!!  

I love the clean lifestyle.  I love always having a focus, a goal I am working toward that so many people find interesting.  More than anything, I love the wonderful friends I have made in the NPC and IFBB.

My long term goal is to win the Fitness Olympia.  But it’s baby steps to get there!

How good it feels to know that I am making the right choices day to day to look and feel my best.  And a few inspirational photos of my favorite competitors that I posted on my refrigerator and my training journal!

Julie is more than a coach to me, she has become my friend.  She is a beautiful person that always keeps a positive view.  I don’t think I have ever heard her say a bad thing about a single person.

Peanut butter cups backstage at a show!  Just kidding!  I can never get tired of shrimp sauteed in Pam with onions, green peppers, and low sodium taco seasoning.  Mmmm!

If you have the chance to work with Julie, don’t pass it up.  She has done amazing things for my physique and brought me so far.  I can’t thank her enough!
