What would you say is your biggest flaw?
I’m always running late.
What’s the secret to your up-beat personality?
I have the ability to laugh at myself and I generally don’t take things too seriously. I also constantly push myself to be a better person.
Have you always been an active person?
I was an avid swimmer at school but found my love for the fitness industry once I had left school and started working.
What sparked your interest in the competitive fitness industry?
An old friend of mine encouraged me to compete, which I did for the first time in 2012.
What do you do for a living?
I currently distribute South Africa’s most innovative topical fat burning gel called Sculpt and the L-Carnitine injectable called Carnaject, one of the secrets to staying in shape all year round.
