I started competing as just a personal goal I set for myself in May of 2004. I went to watch the Fitness & Bikini Universe Pageant that was held in Miami & loved every minute of it!

I subscribed to Oxygen Magazine as of October of 2003. All the women I read about & continued to read about inspired me. I have competed in Bikini America 2004 & 2005 as well as Bikini Universe 2005. This year my goal is to compete in Fitness! I have a routine I will be doing for the Universe Pageant in June!

My husband James helped me get started! I work out at home & the gym for things I can't do at home. Gym name- World Gym of Fort Lauderdale.

My whey protein supplements come from Reeves Nutrition!

I feel so much better with the way I have been training & eating the past 2 years. I used to weigh around 132lbs which was very uncomfortable on my 5'4'' frame. I now weigh around 117lbs-120lb & I have muscles! I love it!

Competing with Fitness America has changed my life in a number of ways. My 1st experience was when I met all the moms that competed & I was stunned by how AMAZING they looked! I have also met others that have become friends & have helped me GREATLY along the way!!!

My goal right now is my Fitness Routine put together by none other than Cathy Savage & Paula! Mastering those strength moves, incorporated by moving all around the floor dancing & kicking with a smile on your face is WAY harder then I anticipated!

My diet - I aim for Optimum Nutrition. I have finally completed my Bachelor's in Holistic Nutrition and over the years have learned tons! So, Optimum Nutrition is the only way to sum up how I like to eat.

My workout- a little bit of everything! Jogging, ball-exercises, plyometrics, some old cheerleading drills, new powerlifting techniques I learned from my husband, and I love jumping rope!

I just recently quit the retail world! I was working HARD for 2 and a half years at Armani and then Coach but I found it only brought more inconsistency & stress to my life. I now run 2 of my husband's companies, Raw Power Custom Choppers & J.M. Custom Woodworking. We make a great team!

My biggest goal, I really want to educate people when it comes to Nutrition. The word diet has such a bad reputation when clearly it is supposed to mean, "Way of life." Oh, and children! I love children & can't wait to start a family with my husband!

In school I played Tennis, Volleyball & was a Cheerleader.

My family is 100% Italian. As far back as you can possibly track, it will always lead to Rome! I have 2 brothers and a sister who is my best friend!

Hobbies include scrap booking and other Arts & Crafts, I love cooking & baking and because I live in Florida, anything outdoor, beach, pool, rollerblading, etc.
