Today I speak with IFBB Pro Marina Maliden. She was born in Ukrainian grew up in Israel, where she served Israeli army. After finishing collage, she moved to the United States where she became a NASM certified nutrition coach and personal trainer, as well real estate professional. She started competing in 2013 at a show Israel. Her first NPC show was in 2016. She then went on to compete in 9 National shows where she finally won her Pro card at Nationals in 2022.
