On October 7th, 2015 I won 1st place in Class B Women’s Physique and Overall Women’s Physique at the San Francisco Championships.  This was a very exciting win because this is my first year competing in bodybuilding and my third competition. In my first two competitions I placed either third or second and I was determined to get first next time around.  Third time is a charm.  My next competition is the 2015 NPC Sacramento Championships on November 7th, 2015. Then I’m off to Nationals in 2016. Wish me luck.

Although this is my first year competing in bodybuilding, I’ve always been athletic and kept myself in shape.  After college, no matter the job I always had a love for fitness. My many roles, besides mom and wife includes, a NYC Deputy Sheriff, Stockbroker, Volunteer Firefighter, part-time professor, and Marketing Executive for an international bank.  While wearing my many hats I also obtained my MBA and Doctorate in Education.  

Though I kept very busy this never stopped my love for working out and working hard in the gym.  I love life and love to learn about life and all that it has to offer.  These different roles introduced me to many people and ways of thinking and prepared me for my new journey in life.  Every step for me is an exciting adventure that I approach with appreciation and see as an opportunity to exist and serve others.
