1. What two words best describe your build/physique/figure? Why?: I am an ectomorph. It has been a battle to add muscle and shape to my physique. I love working out, the fitness lifestyle and competing. I live a healthy lifestyle and I keep motivated by setting mini goals for myself. I also have a great trainer named Darrin Robinson from EMERGE in Burlington who keeps me motivated and on track. Since working with him, I have made some great changes.
2. What part of your body deserves to be honored in the “Physique Hall of Fame?” Why?: People have told me before that I have nice shaped glutes and legs. I just keep trying to improve everything. The body has never ending limits, so I am constantly trying to improve it.
3. When did you first realize your body was sexy, appealing or exemplary?: I have always been skinny, I used to do fashion modeling. Then I got into fitness, and it has been an easy transition to get into fitness modeling and figure competitions.
4. In the quiet moment before you begin a workout, what’s the first thing that goes through your mind? And what is the last thing that goes through your mind as you conclude a workout?: The first thing that goes into my mind is the body that I want. I also see myself on stage and that motivates me to work out very hard.
5. Who is your physique/fitness idol or role model, and what body part would you steal from that person for a day?: I would say every fitness model, figure athlete and bodybuilder is my role model. It is a great industry to be in and everyone I have met is very nice.
6. Who or what inspires you to accept the daily challenge of building your physique/figure?: My motivation is I have a vision of what I want my physique to look like. That keeps me motivated, as I have not achieved those goals yet.
7. If someone wrote a book or song about your body, what would it be called?: ”The Trials & Tribulations of a Skinny Girl Trying to Build a Muscular Physique.”
8. Your name appears as an option on a restaurant menu, and you order the dish/beverage. What food/drink does the waiter deliver to your table?: My favorite food is Caribbean food. So I would say some sort of Roti dish. YUMMY!!! Or a brownie sundae.
9. What would a talking mirror say about your body if you stood naked in front of it?: ”Keep going. You will get there soon.” ☺
10. If you received the ultimatum: workout or die— but your other favorite thing was simply too hard to resist— what is that one other thing you love (besides loved ones, family, friends, etc.) so much that you would actually choose it over your “final workout?”: If I didn’t workout, I would love to win the lottery and travel around the world and do adventure tours.
