My Mom, concerned for my safety, was the first major influence to my start in martial arts training as she wanted me to learn skills for self-defence. Immediately, I fell in love with the kickboxing aspect of my initial training, and soon after I discovered Black Lotus where I started at the age of 10 years old and have been even since.

As my training has continued, I have built even more appreciation for the art as well as developed my skills. In 2023, Soke Nic awarded me my green belt. Shortly thereafter, I started competing as well as assisting in class instruction, to finally leading class instruction on my own.

Kickboxing is my passion – I look forward to sharing this incredible art with you!
