Favorite Color: Pink 

Besides training Enjoys:   Aside from training I love to Run long distance competitively, and watch Anime.

Describe the feeling as you walk out to the cage?   When I walk out to the cage I usually feel nervous, I cannot really explain it feels like butterflies in your stomach .

What was your biggest surprise as you entered the world of fighting especially as a woman?

I think the biggest surprise is there still not being enough women in the sport still. 

Describe fight camp, preparation for weigh-ins?  Fight Camps, and preparation for weigh-ins are brutal but I find joy in them as they are part of the process of having the privilege of stepping into that cage.

Describe what you feel after a win?   I feel overjoyed after a win and it makes all the sacrifices, sweat, blood, tears, restless nights worth every second.

Who are some of your biggest supporters?  Some of my biggest supporters are my Coach Hugo Sida, and my Mother. These two give up a lot of themselves for me and I am forever grateful to have individuals like them in my life.
