A few months into training a girl came to me and said she'd heard I was training for
a figure show and wanted to know if I was serious. I told her I was and she told me she wanted to introduce me to her
trainer, Chris Eaddy. At the time, I hadn't really thought much of hiring a trainer, much less one who trains 1 hour
away from where I live. Nonetheless, I went to meet him anyway and after talking with him I decided right then and there
to make him my trainer. He is still my trainer to this day! And, the girl that introduced me to him is now one
of my best friends needless to say!
Chris had eventually introduced me to IFBB Figure Pro Marcy Porter and she was my saving
grace when it came to learning how to pose. I am so grateful for both Chris and Marcy! With their coaching and
training I went on in 2005 to compete in 4 figure competitions, taking the overall title in 2 of those 4 competitions and
first in my class in 3 of the shows. My final show qualified me to go on and compete at the National level and it is
an honor to be able to say I am an NPC National level figure competitor. This year my goal is to earn my pro card.
My first show will be in Charleston, SC at the NPC Jr. USA's! I
I feel like I am living a dream and don't take any of this for granted. I
am having the time of my life and want to encourage all women out there of any age to believe in themselves, set a goal and
don't let anyone tell you that you can't!
