I’m a independent personal trainer, nutritional coach, avid gym go-er, fitness model and competitive bikini athlete from Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada.
Being depressed and overweight (for my height), I knew I needed to change my life drastically. I saw my first trainer Amy, who helped me lose 20 lbs. I then met my second trainer, now boyfriend, Sam who helped me lose another 20 lbs.
I was taken to my first bodybuilding show and I was immediate motivated to get into "tip-top" shape.
I trained hard, ate clean and slept well for a full year after seeing the show.
My competitive career started in 2011, where I won 1st Runner Up at the 2011 MABBA Novice Championships in Bikini Short. I have competed as a National athlete at the 2012 IFBB World Qualifiers, placing 6th in all of Canada in my respectful height (Bikini Medium) category. My most recent conquering was at the 2012 MABBA Provincial Championship with placing 1st in my respectful height category (Bikini Medium). 10th place for Bikini Medium at the CBBF Nationals - August 2013.
Since then, I have been so honored to be a sponsored athlete/ambassador for Advanced Genetics, FitFluential Inc., Public Myth, Muscles By Meyers Sports Nutrition, Zealous Medi Spa, & Because You're Fabulous. My next goal is to potentially pick up a more corporate sponsorships :D
My dreams for the future are becoming a well-known fitness model, a successful business owner and to become an IFBB Bikini Pro.
When I am not training myself, I am guiding my client in my field of personal training with their wellness goals. I personally know what it is like to be overweight, and that's one of the reasons why I have a great passion for this line of work. I wake up everyday knowing I am going to help someone. It is just an amazing feeling.
