I started competing 3years ago and although I was always active at school to which I participated in a lot of sports, and when I left school I started to workout at gym just to keep fit and to try to live a healthy balanced life.
My friends would always compliment me on how great in shape I looked and that's when eventually I decided to up my game and did some re-search on competing.

My first competition was FAME 2007 & despite the fact that I tragically lost my fiancé 2weeks prior to stepping onto stage & with the most amazing support from my family and friends, I faced up to the challenge of my emotions and no matter how difficult any situation arises in my life - I can conqueror them!
After placing 3rd in Advanced Ladies FAME Fitness Model Search, I was hooked.

Through out the 3years of competing I always placed in the top 3 and finally made 1st place for Body Beautiful 35+ 2009 which was held at Carnival City. Placed 2nd in the Miss Fitness SA 2009 which has allowed me to compete in Las Vegas November 2009. I hope to bring back the great experience and knowledge of the standard of stepping onto an International Fitness stage.

I have gained tremendous experience, self esteem, confidence, knowledge though out my 3year term of competing. With the amount of information that is overflowing the fitness industry with regards to the correct intake of nutrition, supplements, technique in training etc, I was at one stage very overwhelmed. I took it upon myself to gather the info that was available and start teaching myself as there is only one teacher that can teach about you and that is YOU! So much I have learned about my body and mind which has been a huge learning curve for me, but also where my success steam from. It also led me into learning more about myself mentally and how my mind works and that I AM THE MASTER OF MY OWN UNIVERSE!

My greatest downfall when I started competing was the lack of support within the industry when it comes to the preparation of a competition from make-up, tanning, hair, costume, shoes, posing, pre-judging. With this I hope to expand my consultation as well as my knowledge to the potential first time contestants in assisting within the Fitness Industry & preparations for stage as well as training & eating programs.
