she's done more comps than I have. She
was always so nice and helpful we started
bonding. Since the beginning of this year
we've been in touch more often, almost
every week, and now since our last comp,
together all the time.

What was the defining

moment in your friendship?

K: We became good friends when we’d
both just placed 2nd in our chosen
categories at WBFF Gold Coast, May 9th
2015! Nathi placed 2nd in Diva Fitness
Model and I placed 2nd in the Diva Bikini
Model category! I was also honoured to
be placed in the Top 5 for Diva Fitness
and be able to stand in that line-up with
Nathi too! We were thrilled to stand
on stage together and had been looking
forward to it and were getting excited
about it throughout our competition
prep, it was such a special moment!

“She and I encouraged each other

our entire comp prep, checking
in on each other regularly and

reassuring each other throughout
the months of preparation.”

N: When Kirsty injured her foot just
a few weeks out of the comp we were
doing together, at the same time I’d
injured my bicep. I felt like giving up but
just to know she was still pushing trough
and we were both passing through a
diff icult time that made me stronger and
I didn't give up prep. She inspires me in
so many ways, from being so focused
and passionate to being so strong and
disciplined.

What are your favourite

qualities about each other?

kindness, helpfulness, honesty, sincerity,
