Born on November 20, 2006, and raised in Lakewood, California, I first stepped onto the mats with my sisters as a way to learn self-defense. We were young—just a group of active girls trying out every sport we could: Krav Maga, Muay Thai, boxing, soccer. But when we found Jiu-Jitsu, everything changed. It was the first time we felt truly connected to a sport on every level. What started as a way to feel safer quickly became a passion that reshaped our lives.

By the time I was 10, we had stopped all other sports and were fully focused on Jiu-Jitsu. At 12, I made the decision to train full-time, dedicating myself completely to growth, learning, and the pursuit of excellence on the mats. Since then, I’ve committed to showing up every day—especially on the hard days—with discipline, purpose, and a clear goal: to become the best version of myself through this sport.

One of the most unforgettable moments in my journey so far was winning the IBJJF World Championship at purple belt alongside my twin sister and younger sister. It wasn’t just about standing on the podium—it was about everything behind it: the hours of training, the constant support, and the deep bond we built through shared sacrifice. That moment reminded me why I love this sport: not just for the victories, but for the people I get to experience them with.

I currently compete in the Light-Featherweight division. My game is centered around pressure and creativity. Two of my favorite techniques are the Crazy Dog Pass and the armbar. The Crazy Dog Pass allows me to apply nonstop pressure while chaining different passes, forcing my opponent to stay reactive. As for the armbar, I’ve always loved how versatile and creative it can be—whether it’s from mount, closed guard, side control, or in a scramble, there’s always a new way to make it work.

Outside of Jiu-Jitsu, I love reading—especially with my twin sister Mia—going to the beach, and spending time with my loved ones. Those moments help keep me balanced and grounded amidst the intensity of training and competition.

To me, a champion’s mindset means staying consistent and doing the hard things even when you don’t feel like it. It’s about pushing forward with intention, trusting the process, and always finding a reason to grow. It’s not just about medals or titles—it’s about who you become along the way.

This is just the beginning of my journey, and I’m excited for everything that’s still to come.
