The most important to me, and what I like most: - honest and trustworthy people - extended sun baths - to go out with friends - my parents and our dog Moses II - dining at my favourite Spanish restaurant, "The Barrel."

What I hate: - Liars and envious people - but they too belong to life - otherwise I wouldn't appreciate my true friends - insincere people - intolerance - always having to defend and justify my sports - it's boring - moving from one town to the next. Very early my parents noticed, and were concerned that I do too much sports. After high diving and swimming was not as successful as I hoped it would be, I changed to handball. I loved it right from the beginning. I was passionately fond of this sport for 17 years.

Unfortunately, this sport .brings along various sporting accidents so that I decided 3 ½ years ago to go on for another kind of sport. Looking for the right sport I went to different institutes and in April 1999 I dropped into a fitness studio and I loved it from the beginning.

The fate struck me as I got hold of magazines like "The Flex" and "Sport Revue". These magazines pointed out how aesthetic good formed bodies look. It took only a half year and I was training with the guys. I love this sport and was hot to do a concentrated training for my first contest.

My first contest was the North German Championship in 2000 were I achieved 2nd place. Lacking experience during my first competition, I wanted to know it again in 2001. The result was amazing, I became Mistress of Hessen.

Here I don't want to miss to thank Jaro, Erich and Silly from the bottom of my heart for their support. And too my colleagues, who suffered with me. They had a hard time during my diet phase putting up with my bad moods. Without you pushing and supporting me, I guess I would never have made it. THANKS!!!

I changed my studio and now I do my workout in Kelsterbach. Amongst remarkable bodies, like-minded people and loud music I am pushing myself and I am looking forward to my next competition. I feel great and enjoy the regards I get from strangers.

It makes me smile and too it hits me, when I hear both good and bad comments. I can recommend "Body Forming" to everyone. This sport is a sport were one can actually see what nutrition and hard perseverance training does to your body, and how your figure changes. NO PAIN - NO GAIN!!
