She has been involved in fitness for years and is a Certified Trainer in Europe. She won her Pro card at 2021 North Americans where she won her class and was runner up in the Overall. She then competed in her Pro debut at the Powerhouse Classic where she was 8th, and has since competed in 5 more Pro shows! She now does posing and consultation coaching for NPC and other Bikini federations.    Iulia talks about her experiences making friends and building relationships through bodybuilding and how being a part of a team has enriched her experience.
