Ms. Namita Nayyar: How your experience as a dentist and background of being a Korean American that gave you an ‘exotic look’ has helped you in carving your present profession of being a Fitness Model and Professional Bikini competitor?
Ms. Natalie Pennington: My background of a dentist and being a Korean American has definitely helped in carving my present profession. Being mixed has helped and played to my advantage. I have an exotic look with the Asian/French mixture. My physique is European and I have long legs and an athletic physique, which is definitely from my father’s side. My siblings from my father’s side are tall and my brother and sister are world class Taek Won Do athletes. Dentistry came from my Korean mother constantly pushing me to do well in school. I definitely benefited from both cultures.
