Biography

Having grown up with both parents heavily into health & fitness, mum lifted weights & dad was a 3x boxing champion, I naturally followed suit.
Watching mum and dad in our home gym training as a very little girl I started boxing at the age of 5/6 and lifting weights from the age of 13, possibly younger.
My first sport I was champion in was athletics, winning the 100m sprint & long jump where I used to fly across the sand pit! Both events I set records for. During training for athletics we were encouraged to lift weights, which I loved with a passion, more than athletics itself.

After winning my last race with both mum & dad cheering me on, my mum fell extremely unwell and the worst thing in my life happened, I'd just turned 14 years old & my best friend, my world, my mum passed away. Suddenly athletics events didn't feel the same without my mum there, mum used to kiss a bit of paper with her lipstick on to give me luck every time I ran or jumped, I used to put this on my sock as a good luck charm, but I no longer had this & I found athletics extremely hard to focus on without crying while sprinting!
To help me through such a massively huge loss in my life I focussed my entire energy into lifting weights, I'd come home from school holding in all these emotions, straight into our home gym and cry so hard while lifting weights, sounds mad, but it helped,& it still helps me today. It was the release I needed.

Looking through dad's bodybuilding magazines at the age of 14, I always said to myself "I would love to look like her" I was looking at Lenda Murry...but I was so shy of my body, I knew I'd never be brave enough to step on stage half naked.

Then I met Don Styler. In my early 20s I began to train at his gym in Gosport and almost every day he would say "Hello my babe, you should enter my show", me being so shy I'd always giggle it off and say “I’m not brave enough”.

Then in 2008 I DID IT! I felt I needed to address my shyness of my body and JUST DO IT!...and it all began from the Don Styler Solent City Bodybuilding Championships 2008, winning this show I've not looked back, I was so shy of my body so I threw myself in at the deep end! I started competing with NABBA and then UKBFF and then on to IBFA.
