I was a bikini fitness competitor myself for 4 years earning many titles. One of my proudest moments in my competing history was winning the 2007 Ms Bikini Universe title at 32 years old. It was my first competition against 122 beautiful women from all over the world. This moment told me age was really just a number and I could be fit at any age. Not only am I a certified fitness and nutrition expert, I am currently a professional fitness model myself and I have had the honor of gracing many fitness and bodybuilding magazines that include Fitness, Natural Muscle, Iron Man, Muscular Development, and many more. Through my many years of expertise, I have become a published writer to help educate women on all things health and fitness.
