LT For short
Please share something of your background and how it relates to your current interest in fitness and modeling.
I was a model when I was baby and my mom always enrolled me in sports ballet, gymnastics, cheerleading and in high school I started power lifting which ultimately lead up to me being a bikini competitor because of my love for fitness and health which also now I am an ISSA personal trainer with nutrition certification as well.
Share with us a bit about your contest history and most memorable show experience.
My first show was in December of 2012 the South Beach Classic which is almost my most cherished moment. My first show where I fell totally in love with the NPC and also placed 2nd with a 4 week prep. After that in 2013 I placed 6th at Jr USA and got sponsored by a great supplement company Species Nutrition. November 2013 I placed 11th at the Nationals. This year I havn’t really been happy with my placing but my body has looked the best to date. I love to compete, placing is great but I do it for the challenge and love of the sport.
What motivates and or inspires you to workout, diet and compete in fitness? Everyone who knows me well knows that I love a challenge. I always looked at fitness magazines and fitness web sites and said to myself I can do this and after my birthday in 2012 I began my journey. To see myself change is the biggest trill and my biggest motivation is my mom, so she can say her daughter did something very few can do (cont. pg. 6).
