I would first like to thank God for blessing me with all the gifts he has given to me and helping me live a happy and fulfilling life. A special thanks to my mother who has always given me her loving support. She has encouraged me to always chase my dreams and goals. She has never missed one of my competitions!

Rhonda Lee Quaresma, my best and dearest friend to the end. Thank you for all your guidance, advice and making me be the best bodybuilder I can be. Without your help, I would be lost. You have a heart of gold and will always be part of my life no matter where in the world your travels take you.

Andy Vogel from andysmusclegoddesses. An amazing web designer and spectacular man. You have helped me out since the day I came in contact with you. You have an amazing way of reaching out with your kindness and generosity. You are one of the biggest supporters and promoters of female bodybuilding. I appreciate all the assistance and long hours that you have put into me. I can t express enough the gratitude you have shown for me. I hope someday I can do for you what you have for me.

Paul and Bill, also 2 of my best friends. You guys have been there with me through thick and thin. Paul, the best make up and hair guy I know. Many more shoots to bring you along to. Bill, always being there with your open support and sense of humour. Trevor, being a good friend and giving me good advice and encouragement. You are such a good friend. Lisa, thank you for putting up with my daily tan sessions and listening to me complain! All the great photographers I have worked with and hope to work with again. Rick Oliver, my first photographer that I shot with back in 2002 and always believing I was #1. You rock!! All the girls and guys I work with. Thank you for putting up with me during my long weeks of dieting and being there to encourage me through the last hard weeks. James from Better Bodies thanks for providing me with all your great supplements and deals. I tell everyone to shop your store!
