I began kickboxing
at the age of 21 after having my son. Martial arts had always
interested me and in order to shed some extra pounds, I heard
that kickboxing would be a good cardio workout and stress
reliever. I tried a class at Peterec's Karate/Kickboxing center
in Victoria B.C. and automatically signed up for a full year
membership. I started taking two classes per week when I had
babysitters. Those nights became my special nights out as
I was a stay at home mom. After going through belt tests and
doing well at tournaments, I got the competitive edge and
wanted to try my luck in the ring. I have realized that my
true love for the sport is my passion to compete at the highest
level possible. I will do my very best to continue this journey
to be a great and well rounded World Champion.
