Before Germany was united, I lived in East Germany. When I came to West-Germany, it was the first time I saw a fitness-centre. I was very enthusiastic about it. I mean, I was always interested in sports, no matter what kind!

I took part in track and field, I also skated a lot, played tennis and parachute jumped, but just for fun. It was more a hobby then a serious sport.

One day I went into the fitness-centre and had my first training day, after that I knew, that's the right thing for me. I was always inspired of muscular women bodies and so I decided to work as hard as possible to get like them.

Because of my excellent genetics, I took part in IFBB-Competition in 1991, after only 16 months of training. It was my first competition. After that I stopped the training for 6 years, because of private reasons.

In 1997 I started again and just one year later, in 1998, I took part in competitions. Since that time I had improve very fast. In November 2005, I won my first Vice WM-Title at the Junior Masters WM and so my career of an amateur ended.

A new period started for me as a professional in the year 2006. This gave me new motivations to try to compete on the top.
