I grew up in a small town and farming community in Canada.

I started weight training when I was 20 years old, and eventually accumulated enough of the right information about training and diet to make the right changes in my body over the years. My husband and I owned a fitness center in British Columbia for 9 years. I competed in and won the overall title at the 2002 Emerald Cup Figure Championships, which later that year afforded me an IFBB Pro card. I competed in every Pro Figure competition in it's first season, and missed only one show in my second season competing as a pro. My latest accomplishment was winning the overall at the Cal Pro Figure championships in May, and I have just competed in my second Olympia competition in October 2004. I enjoy fitness modeling and for the past few years have received great coverage in many of the industry's magazines.

During the time that we owned our fitness center, we started carrying the PVL Nutrients products and selling them in our pro shop. My husband Terry had known Jim McMahon through the industry for years, so I have been with PVL since the beginning. I personally fell in love with the flavors of the various Whey Gourmet products, but also as an athlete I appreciated the quality that I was getting in all of their products and how they worked for me. I now have an endorsement contract with PVL Nutrients (Whey Gourmet) and make appearances on their behalf all over North America.
