Hometown: Laredo, TX

Career: Speech Therapist, Personal Trainer, Bodybuilder, and currently trying to finish with Occupational Therapy.

Sports background: Since I can remember I've always liked being active. I practiced gymnastic, karate, basketball, cheerleading, kickboxing, aerobics, soccer but always my attraction for lifting weights was more exciting for me than any other sport. I tried bodybuilding and immediately knew this was my sport. It really gave made me a sense of satisfaction.

Why NPC: Well to be honest with you, I didn't know much about the different associations for bodybuilders when I started. It's funny on how this all started for me.  One day at the gym I waiting for my friend to train with and I was reading this magazine and saw a picture of Monica Brant. I jumped off of the bench I was sitting on so excitedly and said in a firm tone, "I want look like her".  He looked at me and smiled and I knew what he was thinking so I never said another word. I just kept it to myself and began training and focused my mind on my new goal. I saw changes in my physique and I wanted more.  My idol Iris Kyle has an amazing physique and at the time it was like an unreachable goal. My mind started changing and I wanted to try bodybuilding. So because of this wonderful women I'm here with NPC.

What do you like best about competing? When I get to the stage at the end of my intense preparation and it shows all the hard work I have put in for the year. Not only for 12 weeks, because I work hard all year round. To see the proud faces of my family and friends is priceless!
