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

Have a plan and follow the plan. It’s okay if you fell off at times as long as you come back more determined and focused to keep on working on your fitness and health goals.

How does fitness positively influence your life?

Fitness has reinforced priorities and self-discipline that I can apply to other areas out of my fitness lifestyle. I have learned to love myself more and therefore I am a happier person and those around me can benefit from that. I have become a positive fitness role model for my family and friends and I have learned to wake up with purpose to become a better me everyday.

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

I would use that money to build my own 24 hr fitness studio.
