Susie's family always encouraged her to maintain a healthy lifestyle during her teenage years. Susie and her parents regularly went on bike rides together. Because of this, she grew up slim. However, as Susie began university, everything started to change. During this time, fast food became her preferred choice. Aside from this, she actively participated in university social events, often going out for drinks late at night.

Due to her party lifestyle, Susie's eating habits quickly spiraled out of control. From then on, she started to gain weight. Worse still, things got worse after graduation when she started working at an advertising company. Her job involved a busy schedule, often working long hours, and meeting client needs. Therefore, healthy eating and exercise were the last things she thought about.

However, Susie eventually realized that her bad eating habits were doing her no good. Throughout this time, she often felt tired and had irregular sleep patterns. At the time, Susie thought that fast food and a gym class once a week were the way forward. But despite her best efforts to lose weight, she had little luck with her weight loss.

However, things started to change when she was in her thirties. She joined the gym with the intention of continuing to move forward from her bad eating habits. From then on, fitness brought her a new life, and she never looked back. She started training in the gym with the aim of exercising. But she needed some help to guide her onto the right path.

After training consistently for over two years, she was inspired by the physique of fitness models. After being encouraged to participate in a competition, Susie decided to prepare for her first competition.

Susie has participated in WBFF European Championships since 2013 and earned third place. Her performance impressed everyone, as she hadn't had much time to prepare for the competition. Because of her success, she craved to continue improving for the next competition.

Susie is always seeking self-development, which means she can achieve fame through fitness patterns. Because of her passion for progress, she wants to help others achieve their fitness goals and become a personal trainer to achieve this goal.

Training

Nutrition

Susie ate four to five small meals a day to maintain her metabolism. To maintain a slim figure throughout the year, her eating habits consisted of eating clean foods, especially before participating in fitness model competitions.
