Growing up in Los Angeles, I learned early the value of resilience, determination, and fighting for what matters. While women have historically been underrepresented in boxing, every woman who steps into the ring has a story, a purpose, and the strength to persevere.
After studying the arts in college, I shifted my focus toward serving others and became a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA). Working with the elderly, individuals with special needs, and newborns gave me a deep appreciation for helping people overcome challenges and reach their full potential.
In 2021, I discovered boxing, and it quickly became more than just a sport—it became a transformative part of my life. Boxing taught me confidence, discipline, and how to push beyond my limits. Today, my passion is helping others discover that same strength, both inside and outside the ring.
Throughout my coaching journey, I’ve had the privilege of training individuals of all ages and experience levels, including children, seniors, national champions, and professional world champions. I am especially passionate about giving back to those recovering from addiction and empowering women to build confidence, resilience, and self-belief through boxing.
I hold certifications in boxing, yoga, and breathwork, and I continue expanding my knowledge in mobility and strength training. My goal is to create a supportive environment where every athlete—regardless of age, background, or fitness level—can build confidence, improve their skills, and become the strongest version of themselves.

Born and raised in Portland, I grew up training alongside my brother, Coach Zavier, and was introduced to combat sports at an early age. Beginning at just six years old, I had the opportunity to learn from a variety of experienced coaches across multiple martial arts disciplines, competing in numerous grappling tournaments throughout my youth. At the same time, I trained extensively in boxing under the guidance of my father, Coach Rick, who helped lay the foundation for my passion for the sport.
Over the years, my appreciation for boxing has only continued to grow. I was drawn to the unique blend of art, science, strategy, and athleticism that boxing demands, which naturally led me into coaching. I quickly discovered that I have just as much passion for teaching as I do for training, and I take pride in helping athletes build confidence, sharpen their skills, and reach their full potential.
In addition to coaching, I continue to compete in USA Boxing-sanctioned amateur competitions. Staying active in the sport allows me to continually refine my skills, test the techniques I teach, and bring real-world experience into every training session. Whether you're stepping into the gym for the first time or preparing for competition, my goal is to help you become a more confident, skilled, and disciplined athlete.
