Let's find out a little about her
I started training when I was 12 years old. My dad just asked me if it was something I wanted to try with him and I immediately loved it.
I am a 3rd Dan Black belt in KenSei Shoto-Ryu, a 2nd Dan in Shotokan and a 1st Dan in KenSeiKan Karate
I love all the new people I get to meet. I also love that I teach not only martial arts but also character development, self confidence and resilience and seeing the positive changes in my students.
