“As a child, I was not only a witness of bullying, but sometimes a victim of such. It was through martial arts that I found the courage and confidence to not only stand up for myself, but be an advocate for others. I started this journey at the age of 12 studying techniques from Tae Kwon Do, Karate, Boxing, Wrestling and BJJ. I eventually fell in love with Muay Thai and Kickboxing which led me to pursue a professional career in combat sports at only 18 years old.

My athletic career has given me the opportunities to travel all over the world and although it was cut short due to an unfortunate accident, I now thoroughly enjoy my passion for coaching by sharing my knowledge of martial arts and fitness to others.”
