Being on the cover of Status: It would be an amazing honor to be featured on the cover of Status Fitness and be recognized as a face of women's fitness.

Bio: I'm an athlete at heart - I grew up swimming and have recently started competing in Figure Competitions.  I won the novice class at my first show (INBF Monster Mash) and am looking forward to competing in my first open class this summer. In 2009 I ran my first full marathon and just finished up a half in Miami. I use the training as a way to stay motivated and lean in my off-season.  I am always setting new goals and the sky is the limit. I love the confidence that working out provides - knowing that I can set any goal and with the proper training and nutrition reach it.

Favorite Quote(s):

"If you don't have confidence, you'll always find a way not to win."

"Anyone can give up, it's the easiest thing in the world to do. But to hold it together when everyone else would understand if you fell apart, that's true strength."

Nutrition / Supplements: I've recently started using OxyElite Pro and RTN's whey protein & women's meal replacement are a staple of both my on & off season diet. I also use MHP Activite Sport Multi-Vitamin, probiotics & digestive enzymes every day.

Training: I lift four days a week while doing am cardio 6-7 days a week.  My favorite day is quads - nothing feels better than leaving the gym after hitting heavy weights!  I recently started doing Bikram Yoga to improve my balance & flexibility.

What separates Status from any other fitness magazine: Status Fitness provides a forum for women who don't subscribe to being scary skinny and aren't afraid to lift heavy.  It also offers fantastic nutritional advice, training tips and supplement reviews.
