First of all, I want to thank my father who has always been an example of discipline and perseverance to follow regarding sports. Since my childhood, I see him manage work, family and various sports in which he still performs actively today.

I was always very athletic. The first sport in which I performed was BMX racing at the age of 11. Followed by track and field throughout my teenage years.

In 1998 I met my spouse who was a professional hockey player in Europe. I followed him to Germany for 4 years where I joined a modeling agency. That led me to start working out in order to stay in shape for modeling. I quickly developed a lot interests about everything regarding fitness and nutrition.

At the age of 21, my daughter, Yamila, came into my life and it is only two years later that I really discovered the sport of figure. I immediately began a very strict and disciplined workout routine and three months later I enjoyed the results with a first place at my first championship. It is then, that I realized what I was able to do with my body in such a short period of time. I took part in a few other championships shortly after, all the way to a national competition.

Training and working out changed my life physically, but especially mentally. I finally found a balance in my life.
