Today I speak with IFBB Pro Daniela Benitez who born in Costa Rica and moved to Utah at 14. She’s a mother, makeup artist, baker, and sales manager, who started her fitness journey after a divorce. She began body building at the end of 2017, competing in three shows back to back. She won the overall at her 4th show ever which led her to compete on the National level. She earned her Pro card at 2020 USA’s and has since competed in three Pro shows with plans to compete later this year. We hear about Daniela’s work as a makeup artist and why she loves working with competitors on show day. She also gives some of her best tips!

Daniela shares all the ups and downs of her journey to Pro and why earning her Pro card was so important to her. I know many people will be able to relate to her story!
