What kind of activities/sports did you do before you started lifting weights?
I always hit the weights, I don't remember when i did'nt. I did do some track, basketball and modern dance.

How and when did you get involved into lifting weights?
Again the drive has always been there. My motivator was Sylvestor Stallone. My mom got my sister and I our first weight bench when we were 12 yrs old.

Was it a goal for you to compete in bodybuilding competitions right from the beginning or was it something that grew on your mind as time went on?
I wanted to be a dancer, so the stage was always on my mind. At 17yrs old so many by then were encouraging me. I felt i could have both.

What was your first bodybuilding competition and how did you place?
1993 Bill Pearl Classic. 18yrs old placed 2nd in novice heavy weight.

Which contest has been the biggest success for you yet?
It use to be when i conquered the Emerald Cup in 2000 and Steve Wennerstrom giving my magazine coverages ect. Now, 2006 USA nationals. Judges awarding me into top five. My performance was seen, felt and heard for once on the national stage. John Lindsay (the promoter) stopping me in the lobby, shaking my hand showing me his appreciation among the many who awarded me that night. It was a relief i never felt before with a sense of freedom. Even to this very day i recieve positive feedback. I did not expect this, and i never been more pleased, so thank you.

Judging in Women's bodybuilding today has always been criticized in one or the other way. Please tell me your honest thoughts about today's judging in women's bodybuilding?
To be truely honest there was a long period to where i could see why there was alot of discussion on what needed to change ect..So ok, if you ask me, I feel us ladies have done so accordingly to what is recommended of us today. I dont hear to much negativity anymore but alot of compliments. But either way no matter what, there is going to be something said in a negative manner. Do i care? no not really.

What are your future plans in 2007?
I am once again prepping for USA nationals 2008.
I want my pro card. In between last yr and this yr. I did what i said i was going to do. I got my website all rebuilt and launched. Did alot of traveling for photo shoots and session tours to meet fans that i had promised. Now I am just focusing on my internet business, and winning USA nationals.
