For those of you who don’t know who I am or don't recognize my face or my name, then to be completely honest, you haven't been looking at any bodybuilding magazines. I have been featured in all the popular bodybuilding magazines like MuscleMag International, Ironman, Muscular Development, FLEX, NPC News, Body's magazine (Italian publication), B&K Sport (Swedish Publication), Women's Physique World, Oxygen, Powerhouse magazine, Body Talk, Natural Bodybuilding & Fitness magazine, and many more. This is what WPW has to say about me: “Anita was a top level competitor, and one of the very strongest women, during the 1990's, and she was at her peak in 1995 when we had our photo/video session with her. Though this was intended to be an-'off-season' shooting, she was very lean and defined even at her higher weight, making it hard to believe she was not preparing for a contest! A great looking blonde with huge arms and lower body, and another woman bodybuilder 'who loved the camera'.

I am also a published author. My work has appeared in Oxygen, Ironman magazine, MuscleMag International, NPC News, Body Talk (supplement industry magazine), and many more. Further, I am a consultant for BeFit.ca, article writer for several online forums as well as doing work for elitefitness.com, and rxmuscle.com.

After winning the Southern States, I went on to post a 3rd place in the heavyweights at the 98’ IFBB North American. Then retired for 10 years…
