But once she started training with her partner Shaun Campbell, her physique began to change and in a few short months, she was already in training for her very first competition at the age of 34. She has placed top 3 in her competitions. She plans to continue competing and hopes to improve with every season.

She states she is "truly in the best shape of her life." It's never too late to step out of your comfort zone, take some risks and work hard to acheive your goals!
