I’m a passionate martial arts instructor and fitness professional dedicated to helping children, teens, and adults build confidence, discipline, fitness, and character in a fun and supportive environment. I’ve been training in martial arts since 2007 and hold a third-degree black belt, with experience teaching students ages 3+ in martial arts and fitness. My teaching goes beyond technique—I help students develop confidence, perseverance, teamwork, respect, and a willingness to challenge themselves. I’m excited to bring martial arts and fitness programs to after-school programs, summer camps, schools, and community organizations. I enjoy creating structured, progressive programs that can develop over 6–18 weeks, giving students the opportunity to learn new skills, stay active, build relationships, and see their progress throughout the program. Inclusivity is extremely important to me. I love working with energetic athletes as well as individuals with disabilities and different learning needs. My experience includes working as a Direct Support Professional with an individual with Down syndrome, involvement with SOMA Special Olympics, and teaching children and adults across the autism spectrum. I believe martial arts is for everyone, and I strive to be a “rising tide that lifts all boats.” My goal is to create a place where every student feels supported, challenged, and encouraged to grow. Whether they’re learning their first martial arts technique, releasing energy after school, developing athletic skills, or building confidence, I want every student to leave feeling accomplished and excited to come back.
