In 2008 she competed in the figure category and won both state and national titles, and in 2009 she switched to bodybuilding. At 37 she won the 2012 IFBB Europa Battle of Champions in her first IFBB event, which made her a professional, and she then placed eighth, ninth and sixth at the Ms. Olympia in 2012, 2013 and 2014.
