Over the next few years, she continued her training, made great improvements and was relentless in her quest to acquire a physique like those in the IFBB Professional League. In 2002, shortly after meeting her future husband, Andrew, she officially began her first contest prep. Combining Andrew’s knowledge of exercise science and her unstoppable work ethic, Stacy stepped on stage in 2004, only 3 months after they were married. She acquired her IFBB Professional Fitness status in 2010, after placing first in the Fitness Tall class, at NPC Fitness Nationals in NYC. She went on to win the Overall Fitness Title at this show to be declared the 2010 NPC/IFBB Overall Fitness National Champion. She has continued to compete at the IFBB Pro level and is consistently working to improve and move up the ranks. In 2016, she had the honor of becoming an Elite Sponsored athlete of Species Nutrition. In addition to her competitive resume, Stacy is also a registered nurse and personal trainer.
