I started training Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in 2020, and it completely changed the way I see strength, discipline, and community. Since then, I’ve earned my purple belt and found a true passion for helping others grow through this art.

Before Jiu-Jitsu, I spent over 20 years working in childcare and teaching yoga — that background shapes the way I coach. I focus on creating a space that’s calm, encouraging, and structured, where kids feel safe to challenge themselves and be proud of their progress.

At Dino Jiu-Jitsu, I lead our Homeschool Program, and it’s honestly one of my favorite things I’ve ever done. Watching these kids light up when they realize what they’re capable of that’s the magic.
