"The day of this shoot I will always hold near and dear to my heart. June 11, 2011
I opened a door to exciting opportunities --the day of my first NPC showing. Before
pre-judging, my coach Glenn Nowland introduced me to Spence, and told me I would
be doing my first photo shoot during intermission. Though it was a dreary, misty,
rainy day in Paterson, I stepped in front of that camera and experienced an exhileration
I had never felt before. Spence coached me through all of my angles and poses, and
we came up with an array of shots I never thought possible. That day I truly became
a G-Force athlete, and now we have the pictures to prove it!
I have to thank my mother for being my rock, my coach Glenn Nowland for the hard
preparation he coached me through, and Erica Gigante & the Muscle Maker Grill Brick
team for helping me get through my toughest of days. I know that this shoot with
Spence was the first of many to come in the future, and I can't wait to work with
him again!"

Anybody special you’d like to thank?
I'd like to thank, first and foremost, my G-Force Team. Without Glenn Nowland, Vanessa
Rahn, Christian Coronato, Terry and Danny Hawtin I really don't think I'd even be
here. Also, my mother has had a great deal of patience dealing with me, seeing as
it is a very stressful world. Also, without Erica Gigante and Muscle Maker Grill
Brick I would never have met Glenn, so my love goes out to them as well.
How did you get started in Bodybuilding?
How did you get started in Bodybuilding?
I attended a few shows and got hooked. I met the right coach, who was willing to
put my best interests first and it all snowballed from there.

the NPC?
A girl never forgets her first show! I placed sixth at the Garden State 2011 show

My drive and dedication make me successful.

It really depends on whether I'm bulking or cutting. Plyometrics play a great role

Again, it really depends on if I'm bulking or cutting, but the most important things
to remember are to have patience and weigh my food!
