February 24, 1974
Born in Erie, PA - Residing in Pittsburgh, PA
I started lifting when I was 16 and started competing in fitness/figure
competitions and bikini modeling in 1999. I did figure competitions for
so many years and became so sick of the plitics involved that just this
past year (2006) I began training for powerlifting meets to give me a
new challenge....and I LOVE IT! My first meet was the 2007 Monster
Bench Press & Deadlift Meet in Pittsburgh, PA adn it definitely won't
be my last. I am hooked!
Elaine Goodlad, IFBB figure pro, former powerlifter and all around good
hearted-beautiful woman! Natalie "Natty" Freed - I saw her compete at my
first meet and she is so cute and so strong and so LITTLE! I just love her...and
what an isnspirational story she has!! She has  a bio here as well.
115 Bench - 265 Deadlift
sum it all up for us:
I believe that you can do whatever you put our mind to! I know that sounds so cliche,
but it's true! I love being strong and lifting heavy but I also still do fitness modeling so I
will continue that. I don't believe in stereotypes for sports. I can be little, beautiful and
strong all at the same time!
weight class:
114-123

Monster Bench Deadlift Meet - Sept 9, 2007 - 1st Place
family background:
I grew up in Erie, PA and my family is the BEST! Thanks to my mom and dad for
always supporting me even though they may not love what I do. I had scoliosis
surgery when I was 14 with rods put in and then rods taken out so my spine to this
day is shaped like an "S". I don't let that stop me though. My mom gets worried
that I will hurt my back but honestly I believe my heavy lifting has only made it
stronger. Ofcourse I have to thank my husband Chris for his love and support! I
also need to thank my training partner Dave Brown who got me started in
powerlifting! Last but not least, thanks to Supplement Central for sponsoring me!
