- I’m tiny but mighty
- I have been running a marathon every year since 2014
My goal is to help others grow stronger, more confident, and empowered through Martial Arts. I’m from Graz, Austria, and moved to New York in 2010. My Martial Arts journey started a few years later, in the fall of 2013. After a successful career in the contemporary art world, I discovered that my true passion is actually teaching. I was recently awarded my Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Black Belt under Professor Brian Glick and I also hold a Black Belt in Shotokan Karate. My teaching style balances discipline and encouragement, creating a supportive environment where both kids and adults can build confidence, resilience, and find their own voice — on and off the mat.
