Please share something of your background and how it relates to your current interest in fitness and modeling.
I am of Ukrainian descent.. I actually got into fitness when I was getting ready to have kids, but my “kiddy” prep : ) turned into contest prep. . I started competing 2008 in Figure Division, switching to Bikini Division three years ago.  I am a full time Art Director, mom and graphic artist. I love everything that comes with competing-setting and reaching goals, constantly improving myself, and showing my children how to grow up as kind and strong human beings.”

What motivates and or inspires you to workout, diet and compete in fitness? Which part do you have the most difficulty with?
My friends are a huge part and my kids, I would like to get my children into a mindset where working out and eating healthy is a norm not an exception. The most difficult part is Rest Day.

What goals do you have in the sport and do they relate to the rest of your life?
My main goal is stay fit and healthy, getting better every year. What was a surprise and a HUGE motivation for me is that I inspire other women like me by just keep going along this path – that’s the most amazing reward!
