Her running coach recommended trying something different, so she met with Carla Sanchez and joined the Performance Ready Team. Twelve weeks later she entered her first Figure competition and took 2nd place at the 2006 Colorado State Figure Championships. Later that year, she placed 2nd at the Carla Sanchez Fitness Fiesta. In 2007 she competed in four national shows with her best placing being 5th at the Jr. Nationals in Chicago. At the 2008 Jr. Nationals she took home a 2nd place trophy, and went on to achieve IFBB Pro status at the Team Universe in New York by coming in 2nd in Class B.
