I was never a gym person I've always been a skinny fat girl. I used to do tons of music videos, short films and commercials before fitness. I started competing in the NPC in 2010. Placed 4th at my very first show and got hooked. I set goals for myself : Turn Pro, Place 1st and qualify for the Olympia. I turned pro in 2011 and took off from there winning 6 shows and coming in 2nd by 1 point at the 2013 Bikini Olympia.
I have 2 beautiful girls and an amazing husband. Sometimes its difficult to juggle things around but if you plan it accordingly its possible.
I just started competing again after having my 2nd child and gaining 81 pounds. I want to show women out there that yes you can get back in shape and step on stage again. I'm excited to see what happens next.

How I got started?
Second semester of my freshman year in high school I took weight training as a class and absolutely fell in love. I was a gymnast and soccer player since the age of 3 and ran track in high school. Lifting weights came so natural to me and became an important aspect in bettering myself as an all-around athlete.
Once high school was over, it was hard not being able to be involved in sports like I once was. That was when a friend who had previously competed in NPC shows approached me with the idea of competing. From there I decided to go forth in doing a show and started out with bikini. I quickly realized back stage that I was in the wrong category! Being a gymnast and a soccer player majority of my life as well as lifting weights for a few years at that point had left me with that naturally built body frame. When prepping for my first figure show I found myself getting back to something that I loved, lifting weights, but I had a goal, and from there my career as a figure competitor took off.
Learning about nutrition and even more in depth about the human body in college really brought everything together for me. I found my niche in what I wanted to do. I not only have been able to transform my body into something I only thought imaginable, but I have also been able to help others in reaching their personal goals as well. Helping, motivating, and inspiring others is one of the most rewarding aspects of this industry. Thank you to Betancourt Nutrition for believing in me and for the endless support they have given me, as well as to everyone who has followed and continues to follow and support my journey!
