Biography

Wehbe was born in Tell-Tamar, a small village in Syria. She was only ten years of age when her parents sent her and her older brother to live with their relatives in Chicago to receive an American education.

Wehbe, who is of Assyrian ethnicity, asserted her independence at a very young age and began working to support her schooling when she was only 15. She graduated with a Bachelors of Arts degree in International Business/Business Management. Upon graduation, Nancy started work at a Fortune 500 company, where she stayed for five years. [3]

In the mid-1990s, she had begun an intense weight-training regiment. Immediately she noticed great results and received countless compliments. Not long after, she decided to compete at the official fitness and bodybuilding events. She trained hard and followed a strict nutritional diet prior to any competition.

Wehbe, who turned bodybuilder, has since turned every road block into a stepping stone by overcoming the frivolous impediment of cultural barriers and gender prejudices and has gained widespread respect and support for a hardcore competitive sport that requires fitness and modeling, both, in and out of her Assyrian community.

She became a Certified Personal Trainer by the American Council on Exercise (ACE). [4]
