How did you get interested in bodybuilding/working out?

I'm an actress, and I thought that it would get me more auditions if I were in shape.

What was your first show like, any interesting experiences?

I didn't really know what I was doing. I basically starved myself for three months, got up on stage, and did some quarter turns. I was never very nervous though, just VERY excited!

What do you like and dislike about competing?

I HATE applying the color! I always feel so messy and dirty. I LOVE the feeling of accomplishment that I get when I am on a competitive stage. Knowing that this day is the culmination of months of gruelling work is a rush unrivaled!

What are your future goals in this industry?

I hope to someday win the Figure Olympia (doesn't every Figure competitor?) I would also like to have a positive influence on other females to take care of themselves and be good to their bodies.

What do you see yourself doing in 10 years?

Hopefully raising a beautiful family while continuing to promote health and wellness to the public. I hope to be involved in the sport as a successful competitor and role model for as long as can!

Please tell us something special about you that most people wouldn't know?

I am afraid of the dark, and actually LOVE steamed broccoli!

Any additional notes? People you would like to thank?

I just want to do the sport justice, and to have fun and work hard to be the best that I can be, while making friends along the way. I also wanna thank all of my friends and family for still loving me even when I am a maniacal diet monster.
