I am a very unorthodox type of trainer, and I thrive on challenging my students to their fullest potential. What I offer is not for the weak of heart, but rather, for the warrior who strives to build a mind stronger than any muscles formed. I also believe that your body is a work of art, and with proper nutrition and formation, it can perform as a well-built machine, IF you condition it to be so.

A native of Hendersonville, North Carolina, I graduated from West Henderson High in 1997. After graduation, I attended college and attained certifications and accreditation in Massage Therapy, Early Childhood Development, and Business Management. In 2021, I received the prestigious awards of Leading School and Leading Master Martial Artist of the Year through the U.S.A. Martial Arts Hall of Fame.

I continue to pursue my passion for instruction while also furthering my own training and gaining greater achievements to this day as I believe a true teacher never stops learning.

I first developed an interest in kickboxing in my early teenage years. I began at a local karate school that specialized in Karakido Karate. I quickly realized that not only did I need the lessons taught, but I also had a passion for them. In 1999, I achieved the honor of my first Black Belt. In April of 2006, my life changed with the birth of my child, Mason. This major life change also lead my to reevaluate other areas of my life. I realized that I had a unique set of skills that made me feel confident as a parent and female, and an extreme passion for sharing these skills with other. With this realization, I began my to follow my passion as an instructor. I believe that EVERYONE has a "Fighter Within" themselves , if they challenge themselves to release it. Therefore, FighterWithin was born.
