I started taekwondo for a very common reason. I was bullied and I was scared. I picked up taekwondo because I didn't want to sit around and take it anymore.

Promising myself to take action I took taekwondo to a level that exceeded everyone's expectations.

From getting tackled on the basketball court, "because it was funny," to fighting and bleeding through numerous battles for a national championship. I had proven that I was not only capable, but hungry to be at the top.

My success is the direct result of the amazing support from family and coaches. Thank you to everyone for believing in me.
