How Did You Get Started?
I started training when I met my husband Paul Wilk who is a natural bodybuilder and personal trainer. I didn't take it too seriously until 2 months before the wedding. I went for a dress fitting and they told me that I have to loose about 8 lbs. or they would have to make my size bigger. At that point I completely trusted my husband and did everything he told me to do. 2 months later on our wedding day I was 15 lbs. lighter and toned. This is when weight training became my passion and I fell in love with it.
I trained for 3 years and last year we decided that I should compete. After 4 months of serious contest prep, I competed in AMERICA'S CUP NATURAL BODYBUILDING CHAMPIONSHIPS where I won figure overall title. This qualified me for NATURAL MS. UNIVERSE so we decided to do that show as well. I'm proud to say that 3 weeks later I won overall figure as well! This year on May 28th I competed in the MUSCLE BEACH INTERNATIONAL CLASSIC where I won figure medium class.
