I’ve been fortunate to have great coaches and training partners and I love sharing what I’ve learned from them.  I trained boxing and Muay Thai under Melchor Menor, Mike Lemaire and Danny Perez starting in 2011.  I competed as an amateur.  I began teaching boxing and kickboxing in 2016.

I grew up in San Diego.  I played sports and did fitness training my whole life (literally since T-Ball when I was 4 years old).  One thing I love about San Diego is I get to run, train and ride my bicycle outdoors year-round.

Besides training, my other interests are reading, writing, running, bicycling, meditating, playing the guitar, drawing, cooking, travelling, spending time with friends and family, and doing live poetry and story telling performances.
