Marie on Stage:
	Between 2012 and 2017, I competed in 15 amateur shows hosted by the NPC. After a somewhat sloppy start, I progressively tightened my form and tidied my posing, until I finally earned my first first place finish at the 2016 Tahoe show. That victory qualified me (also for the first time) for Nationals. The Muscle Contest USAs (i.e., Nationals) took place in 2017 in Las Vegas. It was on that stage that I earned my IFBB pro card, winning my class and commencing my professional journey. My latest show was in May, 2023. Below are some of my stage pictures:
