Beauty means so many things to me. I see a beautiful person as someone who is a confident person, who is proud of their obstacles they have overcome and the achievements they continue to strive for in the future. A beautiful person is also full of life and able to create a natural, positive energy around them and infect people with their smile. When you hear the word beautiful, to me... it is a breath of fresh air!!

I am an energetic, motivational and compassionate person who is always striving to help others with their struggles in life! I am the owner of a thriving personal training and nutrition business for 15 years and I teach group exercise classes each day! These classes consist of boot camp, boxing, pump, step, pilates, yoga and core classes! I also am employed with local modeling agencies and am a showgirl for Jumers Casino. My job as a personal trainer is so fulfilling for me in seeing peoples lives change in such a positive way! I also have been dealing with obstacles of my own. For over 20 years, I have been battling an autoimmune illness, lupus, which has been life threatening for me on several occasions. It has been a long tough road for me, having to experience chemotherapy several times, extreme weight loss, hair loss, seizures, mini stokes, damage to organs such as heart, lungs, brain and kidneys. Life has been a blessing for me and I would never change anything I have gone through. It has built my character, strengthened my faith and made me who I am today. Through my journey, I have a purpose and a plan. I have started a foundation called LIVEFIT WITH LUPUS, where I can expand on helping others overcome their battles from youth to elderly. I believe in HOPE, COURAGE and STRENGTH. You have three choices when you face an obstacle in life. You can let it DESTROY you, you can let it DEFINE you, or you can let it DEVELOP you.
