Today I speak with IFBB Bikini Pro Jasmine Gonzalez, a United States Marine who served 6 year active duty. In 2017, she earned her Pro card in last year of service transitioning from military to bikini pro. She qualified for her first Olympia in 2019, placing 9th. Between 2022 and 2023, she took a year a way from the stage to focus on her mental health. She qualified for the 2024 Olympia after winning the Atlanta Pro, and finally achieved redemption after winning third in the world at the 2024 Olympia! Jazzy is a competition prep and lifestyle coach, along with owning her own coaching business.
