My journey in the health and fitness industry is an interesting one. I was a track and field runner, battle mild anorexia and knee injuries. My dream was to be an Olympic athlete. But my knee pain was so bad that i had to make a decision and give up on my dream. After my surgery, i started rehab and fell in love with the weight room.Next thing you know, i was reading my first Oxygen and Fitness RX for women, wishing to be on the cover , wishing to look like them.

I was at the gym 2 x a day; a girl approached me and asked me if i « competed ». Figure competitions where not very popular here in Quebec. very underground- isn, kinda like how MMA started. for me, there was no way i could get on stage or even look the part. But i did. i trained for my first figure show in 2005. Took the overall and it all started from there. I did many shows, where i took the overall. Then i competed in miss figure universe and America and took home the trophy and the title. Apparently i had a very marketable look, so i started focusing on fitness modeling and from there, all my wishes came through;) i did tons of magazine cover and got tons of exposure. I left the competition scene 3 years ago. First off, i had an ACL tear ( yes another knee injury !), and a life threatening blood clot. I had to stop working out for 1 year. and to be honest, i just don’t like the direction that the competition scene has took; very unfair and alot of injustice. I prefer not to be part of that. But , i learned to do other things then just lifting weights. I learned to love my body even if i am not at hard 7% body fat. Fitness will always be there, but for me, it now has another purpose.
