Corporate Suite to Center Stage

MY STORY OF TRANSFORMATION

My journey into the world of fitness is deeply personal, rooted in a pivotal moment that changed my life forever. In my mid-fifties, after a 35-year corporate career as a bilingual international business executive, I received a diagnosis of thyroid cancer. That moment, while daunting, became a turning point—a wake-up call that led me to embrace fitness not only as a lifestyle but as a pathway to reclaiming my health and vitality. For the first time, I joined a gym, and what started as a quest to heal evolved into a passion that reshaped my life.

Today, I’m proud to say I’m living proof that it’s never too late to rewrite your story. As the Owner and Founding Member of Aging Evolution, I’ve built the fastest-growing global online community of health and fitness enthusiasts who refuse to let age define them. At Aging Evolution, we empower mature adults to embrace longevity, fitness, and vibrant health, offering products specifically designed to support their unique needs and aspirations.

My commitment to fitness took me beyond personal transformation—I’ve stepped onto the competitive stage, proving that age is just a number. I’ve competed in multiple bodybuilding competitions, often facing women a decade younger, and placed in every regional event before earning my International Federation of Body Builders (IFBB) Pro card in Figure. In my sixties, I’m proud to continue competing as a professional athlete in the IFBB Professional League, enjoying the best health of my life.

Health and strength know no age limits.

Beyond the stage, I’ve shared my journey and insights in articles for fitness publications and online platforms. My story has been featured on television, including News8’s CT Style Live, and in D’FYNE magazine as one of their fit and fearless women over 40. As a published fitness model, I’ve been featured in commercials and campaigns for supplements, skincare products, and women’s activewear, further embodying the message that health and strength know no age limits.

Today, I’m dedicated to inspiring others to take control of their health. I mentor women seeking to unlock their potential and often travel to give motivational speeches, sharing my journey to demonstrate that it’s never too late to evolve. Fitness saved my life, and now it’s my mission to help others discover how to thrive at any age.
