How did you get interested in fitness competitions? 

I started dance and gymnastics when I was very young, being healthy and fit has always been a part of my lifestyle. I gained muscle due to the muscle strength gymnastics requires. I entered a high school bodybuilding contest and won. After that I just couldn't get enough so I entered another bodybuilding contest and switched over to fitness so I could utilize all of my skills. The rest is history!



 

What aspects of competing do you enjoy the most?

I have to say just being on stage! I absolutely get a thrill out of performing for people. I think that is why I work so hard on choreographing fun and entertaining routines, I love seeing people smile when they watch my routine!



You appear to be very petite, what are your vital statistics, and what ethnicity are you?

A lot of people are surprised to see just how petite I really am. I am 4'11" and weigh about 100 lbs. off season and about 94 lbs. dieted down! It can be an advantage and disadvantage. I have found I am just the right size for a gymnast and being petite makes me stand out on stage. But finding clothes to fit properly is sometimes difficult! My ethnicity is sort of a melting pot. I am half Filipino and the other half is Welsh, French-Canadian, German, and Luxembourg.



What are your strengths and weaknesses?

Strengths- Performing from the heart and being passionate about my beliefs, and loyalty to family and loved ones.
Weaknesses- McDonalds' #2 without cheese with a regular coke... SUPER SIZED! :o)
