Where do you live?
I live in Kitchener, Ontario.
Are you a student or do you
work?
I work, I am a mom and a wife.
I am not a student but always
learning! I have just opened a
restaraunt - The Underground.
What got you interested in
competing?
I have had a gym membership
since I was 14 and probably been
on some sort of diet just as long!
I kept getting asked if I
competed and I was totally
ignorant thinking bikini was
the only class for women! I am
so not a bikini girl. I got a little
education and fell in love with
the idea of figure. I was 43 and it
dawned on me that I compared
myself to ladies in their 20’s, I was
a master and knew I had to prove
to myself I could do it!
How many CPA shows have you
competed in?
Three so far in Figure. The Gala
in 2016, placed 5th in Masters
and 6th in Open. The Toronto
Supershow 2017, placed 5th in
Masters. Mindi O Show 2018, 1st
in Grand Masters, 1st in Open.
How would you like to inspire
others in the fitness industry?
I feel “we all fit” it doesnt matter
what you want as long as you are
happy and healthy. You want a
cookie, eat a cookie. You want to
compete, compete. We are not
all meant nor should we all want
the same things. Never settle
for being just ok always strive to
be your best but remember our
bests are different and that is
what makes us who we are. Self
love is about demanding the best
for ourselves, from ourselves.
What is you favorite workout
routine?
I don’t have one. It all depends on
the area I’m trying to improve. I
want bigger shoulders, it becomes
my favorite but I also need hammies
so I get excited about training
“I enjoy the prep
process so I will
compete as long
as I respectfully
meet competition
standards”
those too. I get happy when I think
about going to the gym.
Do you compete for fun or are you
working towards the Pro Card?
Both! I want to get my pro card to be
able to say I am a professional
bodybuilder, that would mean I
reached an elite level. I take my
training very seriously. However I’m
getting older and hope that won’t
