I grew up all over Northern California (Pop was in the Air Force) riding horses, skateboards and mountain bikes. When I graduated High School (which was in Oregon, lived there for a few years as well) I thought I wanted to be a veterinarian, a fashion designer, writer, interior decorator, anthropologist, psychologist, nutritionist! Sooooooo, I skipped college and went to work, at least doing that I didn't have to make up my mind. 

Having been bitten by the weightlifting bug in High School I continued with it along with my equestrian endeavors and training right into beauty pageants, bikini contests, calendar girl pageants and eventually fitness and bodybuilding competitions. 

After one year of competing in fitness shows I found my face and body plastered all over the world in print, making appearances and well, the rest is history. Now I continue to model, I have my own personal training studio and I write for many publications as well. I really do feel like Cinderella!
