After my first year of training I did my first show in 1988 and was immediately addicted even after taking only 4th place. I was small, only 110lbs. Next year I won the Montreal '89 Championship at 114lbs. I kept improving until 1995, and won many other shows. I was on my way to finally to make my ultimate dream a reality, competing in the Miss O. But an accident stopped me from competing. in the 1997, it could have been fatal.
Doctors could not believe how fast I was recuperating and that I actually survived. After nine (9) surgeries I am bigger and harder than ever. I was told that I had amazing potential in competition I chose not to compete because I could not deal with an un-symmetrical body, due to the surgery I felt that would prevent me for winning. For me it was a great loss that was difficult to accept .
Now over the past 5 years, as you can see from my photos, I was able to keep on improving. Up to this summer, I finally accepted my injury and the flaw it had created in a bodybuilding perspective view, and I realized in real life that it does not make me a worse bodybuilder for such.
I'm now thinking of doing a show for my fans and for myself as I am always being asked for what show am I'm getting ready for ?. I know I will never make it to where I could be as a competitor because I know my limitation. I now have to deal with for this sport, but I can say after this my dream has never completely left me, because since I'm enjoying more and more the admirations from fans all over the world and I get to meet them and I'm making a living from being so muscular and who I've become. I'm Glad because I've beat the odds! In other words never give up! There will be always something there for you.
