A bit about me:

I was a gymnast all of my life until college. I had no place to compete anymore once I began college, and I wanted to continue my gymnastics training. I was contacted by Kenny Kassel and informed about fitness competitions and modeling opportunities.

This whole fitness thing (competitions and modeling) is kind of new to me. I owe EVERYTHING to Kenny Kassel and Charley Stossel for getting me involved. I was very scared at first, I mean standing on a stage half naked wasn't exactly a Shana-Type thing to do. But I realized that this sport and field takes so much dedication and hard work, and the results were amazing.
