I am back in Toronto!

Yup, that's right! I am sitting in my hotel room here in downtown Toronto as I write this! I flew back here earlier today and then went straight back to the set from the airport!!! We shot a whole bunch of publicity stills for the posters and boxcovers etc....
It has been a very long day to say the least.
But now I am comfy and settled in. I better get to sleep soon....I am being picked up at 6:30am.
I really am enjoying every second of this whole experience with the film industry. I can definitely see myself doing more of this!
Oh well, I will keep you posted and maybe try and take some behind the scenes pics!
I am here all week, maybe longer.

Even bigger news!!!!!

Ok, I don't even know where to start....I cannot believe what I did this past week!

Well, I might as well just tell you, this is even bigger than the Lotto 649 commercial.

I got cast in a feature film, American Pie: Beta House! I even have some lines in this movie!!! It is the next installment in the American pie series.

I flew out to Toronto Monday, just hours after finding out that I got the part. I had been nervous to tell anyone that I had auditioned for it, I didn't want to jinx it!!

Seriously, I felt like a rock star, they sent a limo to pick me up and take me to the airport. They put me up in an awesome penthouse in Toronto and they treated me like a princess! I could definitely get used to this!!! I can't believe how much they fuss over you in the film industry, everything is taken care of.

I had to shoot my first scene Tuesday morning, after getting to Toronto really late at night. I was so excited I couldn't sleep. Plus, it was super hot there, and I am not used to the humidity at all.

The cast and crew were amazing and it was one of the best days ever, ever, ever!!!

They flew me back late Wednesday and I have been on cloud nine ever since. I am going back in 2 weeks to shoot a few more scenes. Hopefully, I will get to see more of the city next time.

What an awesome day!!!

I know I have been a stranger to my blog lately....I apologize to everyone!

But...I have been a very busy girl and today was no exception!

I SHOT MY FIRST EVER COMMERCIAL!!!!

It is for BC Lotto, and I will let you all know when it starts airing.

I had to audition several times over the last few weeks and I was afraid to jinx it by posting that I was trying out for it in my blog. So I am telling you all now!

I had a blast on set today! The cast and crew were awesome and it is going to be such a funny commercial. You can see how hilarious we look in our costumes in these pics!!!

I have a few other potential gigs in the works....that is all I will say for now.

Other than the acting stuff, I have been training hard and I am now 11 weeks out for Canadian Nationals. I am currently 196lbs and getting leaner and harder by the day.

I am also co-promoting the BC Championships on July 21st and training several athletes for the show. Should be a great summer!

Enjoy the weekend:)

What a great weekend in Kelowna!

Me and Dia last night!
I have been really busy working and training lately...but I got a chance to sneak away on Friday! I went to Kelowna for the Western Canadian Naturals bodybuilding show. Kelowna is a beautiful city on a lake about a 4 hr drive from Vancouver.




Or should I say it is usually about a 4 hr drive, but I hit Friday traffic and some bad weather so it was more like 51/2hrs!!! Oh well, it was a nice nice and it was really great to get away.







There were a lot of great novice level competitors at this show. I was really impressed!





I also bumped into Shawn Tan, she just competed last week in the Emerald Cup and she looked incredible. She told me she is planning on competing in the show I promote, the BCABBA Championships.





I also saw my girlfriend Dia...she is also looking amazing. Dia and I will both be competing together in Edmonton in 16 weeks at Nationals. She normally competes as a middleweight and I compete as a heavyweight, but the CBBF has changed the womens' weight classes this year, so we will be in the same class. It is kinda strange to just eliminate a class and switch to just 2 weight classes for women....


I just gotta show up in the best shape ever and see if the judges like what I bring to the stage!

Happy Easter!

Hello everyone....hope Spring is starting to bring a little sunshine to wherever you are:)

It has been so long; where do I begin.

For starters, I have been very busy with my clients that will be competing this year. I train a lot of amateur Figure and Bodybuilding athletes and the competitive season is beginning soon. It can be a lot of work, but I love the sport of bodybuilding and I really enjoy sharing my passion with up and coming athletes. I find helping others achieve their dream of competing very rewarding.

I also have started working on preparations for the BCABBA Bodybuilding Championships on July 21st here in Vancouver. I help promote the show, which is a National Qualifier here in Canada. We have already booked IFBB Pro's Gunter Schlierkamp and Colette Nelson to guest pose. It will be an awesome show!!!

And....
I started my diet for Nationals last week! That's right...one week down....19 more to go!
Soon, I will start posting progress pics so you can watch me transform from off-season to contest ripped!
I am currently 204lbs with 12% bodyfat....just in case you were wondering.

Have a great week,

What's new....

Well, I didn't make it to the Arnold Classic....that was a big disappointment! I came down with the flu a few days before the show and there was no way I could tough it out and get on the plane. It is a really long trip to Columbus and it is no fun being at a bodybuilding show when you feel miserable. I was also bummed cause I was really looking forward to seeing Melissa and Nadia and everybody. I don't get to hang out with my girlfriends enough.
I watched the webcast of both the womens and mens shows at the Arnold. All the women looked great! I can't wait to be in contest shape again. I was also really happy Victor Martinez won the Arnold Classic. He looked amazing!
Oh well, I have to make it to Columbus next year!
And that part in a TV show...
I ended up getting a callback! I was surprised since there were so many girls at the audition and lots of them had acting experience. I went back a second time and auditioned for the director. I was nervous, but a lot more confident then the first time. It came down to me and another girl, an actual actor! So, I was practical and figured if they just wanted a physique they would pick me, and if they decided they wanted a "real" actor, they would go with her. She got the part. I was a little bummed, but i did pretty good for my first try at auditioning. It is nerve wracking!!!
And very stressful!
I do have some good news today....
My friend Autumn is in town for a few days! I haven't seen her since November and we always have a great time when she comes to visit me. We went out for sushi last night.
And...
Amber DeLuca is flying into town today for a few days. her and I have never actually met! Just chatted online and seen each other at bodybuilding shows. We will probably all get together tonight.
Have a great week!

Wish me luck.......

Hmmm....this is kinda one of those things that maybe you should keep a secret, so you don't jinx it....but I will tell you anyways!
I had an audition this morning for a small role on one episode of a TV show! Wouldn't that be awesome if I get the part! I got a small role(walk-on) in a feature film "TrickRTreat" shot here last December. Ever since that, my agent send me out to casting calls whenever they need a muscular girl. It is just a fun thing to do on the side. Anyways, I have my fingers crossed and I will let you know if I get the part!

I just realised that this time next week I will be packing my suitcase to leave for the Arnold Classic weekend in Columbus! Yeah!!! It is finally here!
I will be hanging around the expo Friday( and maybe a bit Saturday) and attending the evening show on Friday. I have some photo shoots booked for Saturday and Sunday.
If you are at the show and see me walking around, please feel free to come up and introduce yourself! I love meeting my fans, so please don't feel shy about saying Hi to me!

I just found out my girlfriend Nadia Nardi will also be there this year! I haven't seen her in months and I am really excited to hang out with her again! She is a great girl friend and an awesome bodybuilder! We always have a blast together!
