Biography
I started martial arts 9 years ago in 2017, because I had heard about it through school and thought it would be great to learn how to defend myself. I trained for a couple of years, took a break, and came back in 2024. I benefitted tremendously, both physically and mentally, in doing so. I felt stronger, more capable, and learned valuable life lessons, one of them being how to overcome the mental blocks of getting past difficult moments in learning.
I first told myself that I wanted to be an instructor when I was 7 and starting out as a white belt. I loved the way the instructors taught me, handling all kinds of situations, and the enthusiasm they consistently brought to class, making me want to be that person for others someday. I really love getting to meet all of the kids I work with and discovering their personalities! It’s always such a fun time interacting with them.
Outside of Taekwondo, I love to write, whether it be stories or poetry, and I’m always excited to be outside going somewhere new. I have two cats, and despite being an only child, have a super big family.
