Profile Information
- My Plug:
- Pathology/Histology and Microbiolgy Laboratory Science
- My BodyPROUD Story
- I love the competing, travelling, photography, meeting wonderful personalities and just enjoying the small pleasures of life.
I believe that you can not take life too seriously or you will be easily let down. Life is really too short, so go out there and achieve your dreams, whatever they may be.
- My Facts 'n Stats:
- Growing up, I loved gymnastics but did not have a facility to train so I taught myself some back handsprings...probably not the brightest idea!!
I played basketball and was a cheerleader. But by age 15 after watching the Ms Olympia competition , I fell in love with muscles and have been working out ever since. I love being a strong woman physically which for me carries over mentally.
In 2004, I decided to take it a step further and entered my first figure competition. I saw a personal trainer at my gym enter a "figure" competition which I knew nothing about. At that time there was only fitness and bodybuilding. I really was not too big muscularly for bodybuilding but really did not want to compete with many ex-gymnasts in fitness. But figure I thought would be perfect which focused more on the physique side than fitness. So after she competed in her competition, I thought to myself, "if she can do it, I know I can do it" and so I did.
- My bodyPROUD Goals:
- Check out my youtube channel ;-) A video is worth a thousand words!

- My AHA Life Defining Moments:
- I am Pro Figure Athlete wanting to compete with the FAME organization in 2009... possibly the FAME Worlds in Montreal.
Motivation for me are the results...a great physique, increased self esteem and a healthy body.
- To Become BodyPROUD, I commit to do the Following:
- To be happy, fit and healthy until I die!
To inspire others to lead a healthy and happy lifestyle in body and especially in mind.
- Life Advice that Helped Me:
- Always be true to yourself and don't allow others to influence your beliefs and values.
- How I Boosted my Confidence and/or Added Joy and/or Health into my Life:
- Always hold your head up high and don't ask "why" or "why me" when things don't make sense. Every experience whether good or bad is an opportunity to learn and grow.
Always love and be true to yourself...ultimately, no one but you can make you happy.
- Please Help ME with:
- I do have a transformation profile at bodyspace...check it out.

- My Dietary &/or Training Routine:
- I am honored to be a part of such a great website for such incredible athletes and those who support them. Bodyproud I think will keep everyone connected on sho, when, where and what is going on within the industry.
Great website!!
- Expressing Gratitude is a Key Ingredient to a Happy Life. I Am Grateful for:
- Turning Pro in the NGA as well as the WNBF and now competing at a Pro level.
- My Hero / Role Model / Trainer / Sponsor / Coach / Guru... and Why
- I love the challenge of doing it all myself from my nutriton & workouts to choreographing my routine as well as the hair & makeup. Every aspect of the sport is exciting and challenging to me.
I still have almost every Muscle & Fitness mags from 1986-1988 when I began weight training. Funny thing is, most of the articles are similar to today!
The greatest reward for me is the choice to do it all myself.
Though I would not mind a sponsor to help me out a little :-)

You're the beauty of the stars
And the beauty of a rose
From your cute squinty smile
To your little button nose
No figure on earth
Would dare challenge you
Your beauty is untarnished
From my point of view
Long from now when you go to heaven
All the angels will sing your name
Wishing every second of the day
That they could look the same
No artist could capture
Your beauty or your grace
Your gorgeous flowing locks
And your stunningly beautiful face
So when you see a rose
Or gaze upon the stars
You'll know I see your beauty
The most beautiful by far
~~ Dan ~~
