What would you recommend to others who want to be fit and healthy?

Go at your own pace! Progress will come! I used to compare myself to other fitness models and put myself down. Don’t do that! Any small change is progress and celebrate any progress you make.

How does fitness positively influence your life?

Fitness has helped me with my mental health quite a bit. Working out and living the healthiest life I can is so therapeutic and has helped me gain the confidence I never used to have. I’ve learned to love myself more and more and I couldn’t be happier.

If you were the next Ms Health and Fitness, what would you do with $20,000?

I would get a new gym membership haha. But most importantly give back. My parents have supported me through everything and have completely dried out their pockets for myself and my siblings and I want to do the same. I love sharing things about fitness with my family and I want to be able to give them all the opportunity to live a healthier lifestyle. I would also be able to continue doing what I love stress free which would take a lot off of my mental health.
