Competitions

Hard work, great support and a positive attitude pays off! On 29 April, I won the first ever Pro Fitness at the 2005 Emerald Cup. It was a dream come true and that night was very special for me. I had to lose about 10 lbs from my contest weight from the Fitness International (Arnold Classic) to come in just right. It was a very challenging journey but worth all the hard work. I took first in all four rounds out of 19 competitors, 2 physique rounds and 2 routine rounds. But I give major kudos to Nicole Rollolazo, Teri Mooney, and Angie Semsch, whose routines also rocked the house. I would like to thank my nutritionist Pete Grubbs who dialed me in just right! He also won the bantam weight at his show in San Diego. Leading by example, I completely trust Pete with my nutrition! It is a pleasure to work with Team Evolution as they inspire me just as much and I thank them for rooting me on throughout my training! Hardwear Seattle made great suits for me,as always. Rosa Rogers, who did my styling and make up is extremely talented and I take her with me everywhere. ? Brian Pamintuan always puts in the hours in the studio with me to give me the best product in music! And I finally want to thank my loving boyfriend, Troy for being there for me EVERYDAY as I got ready for the Emerald Cup! We are now enjoying a wonderful summer together! Sorry, I'm taken guys!

I also won the Laura Mak Best Routine award! Check out what Laura says at www.lauramak.com

Northwest Photographer Mark Mason and I are very excited to announce the release of the SECOND EDITION of our step by step "Art of Posing" DVD. One of the only of its kind, this DVD is intended to give direction to NPC and IFBB fitness and figure competitors who need to learn posing and may not have a professional or experienced resource available. We have sold over 175 DVDs to competitors around the U.S. and other countries!

Classes

For those in the Seattle area, group posing classes will begin on 8 August and run weekly every Monday night at 8pm. I will start by having an INTRO TO POSING clinic on 9 July from 1:30pm - 3:30pm at the SIDEKICKSGYM in Redmond. Email me to register for the clinic. You want to look as prepared and poised as possible to show off your awesome physique!
