My daughter told me "I want to be like you mom" or my 21-year-old son say "my biceps are finally as big as yours mom!"
What is the most difficult hurdle you see as having to over come for competition?
The most difficult part of the competition for me is walking in those damn 4 inch heels and looking comfortable, lol!
What is your favorite part about competing?
My favorite part about being on stage is like finally crossing the finish line. Being able to show off your hard work and share the moment with your family and friends.
What is your favorite part of photo shoots?
Being in front of the camera for me is like capturing a physical reflection of the inner self. It is a moment in time that is forever alive.
What do you think is one of the most misunderstood parts of your lifestyle related to fitness that people need to know?
I think the most misunderstood part of my lifestyle is that people think I'm a martyr of some sort. They think I deprive myself of certain foods, I'm a slave to the gym and training. But the truth is I choose to live this lifestyle. Being fit is a lifestyle.
What would be your dream career if in the fitness industry?
A year from now I see myself growing my gym business from a 5000 square-foot facility into a 10,000 square-foot facility in five years.

5) Calvin Harris
