The year 2008 has been an absolutely amazing
one. Beginning with a win at the Arnold Amateur IFBB Championships (figure class
‘E’), followed by a victory at the first-ever SAF Elite Championships, and then
winning both my class and an IFBB Pro Card at the IFBB North American Figure, it
couldn’t have gone better. What a season!
In
addition to competitions, I was featured on the Fall 2008 cover of Inside Fitness
and, as well, I was featured in several training features in Oxygen. This fall, I
will continue shooting with various publications,
promoting my sponsors, and enjoying my new status as an
IFBB professional-level figure competitor.
I hope to make my pro debut at the 2009 Figure
International at the 2009 Arnold Sport Festival, held from March 7-9 in Columbus,
Ohio. This is an invitation-only event, so stay tuned!
In the off-season, I will be participating in several
promotional events for my sponsors, attending the Olympia Weekend in Las Vegas, and
training hard for my inaugural pro season. I will also continue working with
Texas-based Natural Nutrition Inc., promoting their new line of products via product ads,
infomercials, and promotional DVDs to be included with product orders.
Earlier this year, I started filming my new video with Doug
Schneider of SeriousAboutFitness.com, Building a Beautiful Body #2. This new DVD
will also include other women, including fitness model Michelle de Maria and fitness
competitor Chantal Dicaire. We will be continuing shooting throughout the winter. Please
keep your eyes open for it.
