What are your goals in the fitness industry? If you win the M&F Model Search, what would that mean and what would you do with the title?
My goals in the fitness industry are to become an IFBB Pro Physique Competitor, Sports Dietitian, compete in the World Games in 2017, compete in Powerlifting Championships, be on the cover of fitness/fashion magazines, motivate people to become more aware of the fitness industry and what it has to offer. If I win the M&F Model Search, it would be a great joy and an accomplishment. I would use my title to continue working in the fitness industry where I can make a difference in the lives of people by educating them about the industry.
