How did you get interested in bodybuilding/working out?

At 14 I signed up for a weight training program offered through my high school, I then started researching the sport of bodybuilding and that was when I discovered former Ms. Olympia - Rachel McLish who became my idol.

How was your first show like, any interesting experiences?

At 16 I made my bodybuilding debut and placed 3rd in the Natural Miss London - Under 21 category. I was very excited at my placing, however, this was not an experience I enjoyed, I was painfully shy back then. It took me another 17 years before I returned to the stage to compete!

What do you like and dislike about competing?

I love training and to watch the transformation of my physique in the weeks before a show. I dislike dieting and cardio.

What are your future goals in this industry?

Ultimately I would like to achieve pro card status, to someday compete in the Olympia and to have a successful career in personal training.

What do you see yourself doing in 10 years?

I've no idea... I'm a bit of a chameleon, I can never tell what's around the next corner... I love the mystery of not knowing.

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

Hmmm... I'm fastidious - bordering on OCD!

Any additional notes? People you would like to thank?

I would like to thank my husband Rod and children Keegan and Taryn for believing in me and my ability to take on any new challenge and succeed at it and for all their love, support and encouragement.
