Tell us more about yourself

What are your personal fitness goals?

I am currently an IFBB bikini fitness athlete, and I want to go further in the sport of bodybuilding.

I aim to portray a healthy sustainable image, to inspire ladies into having a well balanced fit life.

I see living healthy as a long term commitment, to which I am incorporating everything I do into a sustainable lifestyle rather than a fad.

How will you use your #BiogenFaceOfFitness ambassadorship to inspire women to lead a healthy / fit lifestyle if you win?

Biogen opens up a platform to many women of all ethnicities, ages, and health levels.

My understanding and knowledge on the female body health related issues, which I do share on my social media platforms, will reach more ladies and empower them to lead a lifestyle which suits their individual health needs. I understand that their bodies are different and have different fitness requirements. I want to empower them to make healthier decisions.

I can help them understand the supplementation part of living healthy, and how to incorporate it into their busy daily schedules.

I want to make them see that they can have it all, be it all and still be fit. By being a living example of this. Someone they can relate to. And someone that is honest.

What health and fitness quote or mantra do you live by?

Consistency, discipline and a good working ethic will enable you to have whatever you want in life.

Tell us about your fitness lifestyle

I focus my fitness regime on mostly weight lifting and resistance training 5 to 6 times per week.

I have guidance from a well reputed coach.

My meals are always prepped in advance, and I carry it to work.

I do have days where I enjoy a bit of luxury foods, but I’ve incorporated it into my meal plans.

I use my social network platforms in discussing important fitness related topics, female health topics and do occasional Q and A for those who send in their concerns.

I am very accessible to giving health and fitness advice, I also write a health column for a local female magazine called Swirlmagazine. Which focuses on female empowerment.

Why do you think you’re the Biogen Face of Fitness?

I am consistent in my goals, I absolutely enjoy living a healthy sustainable and realistic fitness life.

I am transparent and approachable to anyone who seeks to have more knowledge on fitness and female health and anything that supports that.

I make it my priority to educate ladies and equip them to make better lifestyle decisions.

I am a mentor, and will always put the health of everyone who seeks information first.
