.
I first took up weigh t training to “tone-up”, until someone suggested I should think about competing. In those days there was no fitness or figure classes, just bodybuilding – so off I went to my first title, winning the under 52kg class.

I train 5 days per week off season (depending on my work roster) with weights and cardio each morning moving up to 7 days, twice a day on season. I love a challenge. I wanted to get my body back after having my son, so I started to get ready for the Queensland State and Australian National titles about 1 month after the birth of my son. I went on to win both titles. When it became obvious to me that to succeed in this industry, you needed some form of gymnastic’s, I began gymnastic classes at the age of 32. I know I’ll never be able to tumble across the stage like some, but I  have managed to do that elusive back-flip, and hope to god that I can do well in the physique rounds to close the gap.

I have been competing for so many years now it is a part of who I am. It makes me disciplined and in control and I hope a better person most of the time.

The athlete that I admire the most is Adela Garcia because she made it to the top without being a gymnast. And of course, my friend, guidence councellor, ass kicker and all-round PHAT chick Jen Hendershott and her awesome routines and physique.
