Bio

I was born in Bangkok, Thailand and came to the states when I was 3 days old. My native language is Vietnamese. I come from a family of 3 brothers and 1 sister. I was kind of a tomboy always tagging along with my brothers. We were all active in some sort of competitive sport. I participated in cheerleading and running. I found the passion for lifting weights at 18 years old where I hired my first trainer at a Gold’s Gym, Campbell, California.

I got married at a young age and started a family. It was after my first child, Lana, now 7 years old, that my body had a complete change for the better. I began researching fitness competitions and recalled figure competitions really exploding at the time. With great support from my family and friends, I entered my first show in 2003 and have been challenged and hooked ever since! In 2005, I came quite close to earning professional status at Figure Nationals taking 3rd place. I took a break and had my son Kairon, now 3 years old. I begin prep almost immediately. When he was 7 months old I hit the stage. I was crowned IFBB Professional status a few months later. That is my testimony. With patience, hard work, and my faith in God and the direction he has driven me, I believe ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE.

Thank you to my awesome team. Kim Oddo (BodyByO.com), my nutritionist, my dear friend Connie Longoria, everyone at CrossFit Silicon Valley, Michaela and Judd Xavier, Celeste Harsa (fitswim-byceleste.com) for making my beautiful competition suits, My wonderful clients who are my #1 fans, I love you guys so much! AND of course I want to give a shout out to all the devoted CrossFitters…you rock my world!!!

God has given me a wonderful gift of encouraging others, and I’ve found a rewarding career out of it. I’m looking forward to a great future, taking nothing for granted. I thank all my family and friends for their love and committed support!
