How did you enjoy your shoot with us and how did it differ from other shoots you have done?
The shoot was amazing due to the fact that the photographers are comfortable to work with. They are so professional but fun. It differs from other shoots I’ve done because it was challenging to do. I’m so used to fitness shoots and this one was more feminine and sexy.

Which scene was your favourite and why?
The scene on the steps was my favourite, the red lips and dark lingerie. My bum just looked hot. Total different character and I loved how that scene made me feel. I had confidence to do it.

You are big into the fitness lifestyle. How did you get into it and what inspires you to be a part of it?
My fitness lifestyle start at a very young age, my schoolteacher asked me the Wednesday before the weekend’s show to do a show in 2011. With no dieting or gym training I did it and won my lineup as well as the overall. Since then I have worked hard to build myself up, which took me 5 years and I’m still not where I want to be. What inspires me the most in this sport is that you don’t just get it. You have to work for the body you want. The way I live is to maintain it to be ready for a show all year round. To be able to help others, not only show-wise but with lifestyle change too. To be able to grow inspires me the most.

You recently returned from competing if the IFBB World Championships in Hungary. What was that experience like for you?
Going to World Championships was thrilling. The experience was breathtaking. Going over as a South African champion automatically gave me the extra pressure to perform, but being on that international stage was so different compared to our local stage. No one can prepare you for what you going to do. The pace they worked on was fast with no time to fiddle, but yet I enjoyed it. I looked my best and gave it my all and that’s what counts. I now know what to improve on and have set goals to reach them in 2016 at Arnold’s South Africa.

How strict do you have to be on yourself to make sure you’re on top of you game?
I’m not that strict on myself, as this is a sport. You win some and lose some. I’ll say about 6-8 weeks out of a show I’ll start a strict diet with cheat meals in between. If you keep a healthy balanced lifestyle you’re prepping will become easier.

What goals do you have for yourself as a Fitness Model?
Obtaining my IFBB Pro Card, starting my own website and to feature as a Muscle Evolution Babe.

If you could change any part of you body, what would it be?
The people who know me by now definitely know what I would love to change, I would give anything for breast enlargement. Small boobies just don’t give you that sexy look at all.

Which part of your body gets the most attention from guys?
The guys love my legs and ass.

What’s on your list of things to do these December holidays?
Visiting my family and spending time with them. I’m a family oriented person and it is important to be with them. Also getting my tan on at the beach and still keeping track of my health lifestyle.
