What / who inspired you to start MMA?
What inspired me to start MMA was my competitive spirit. I would also have to thank my friends who I started my kickboxing journey with, and my family who i’d also train alongside with. If it wasn’t for the camaraderie I don’t think I would be where I am today.

What part does fitness / health / wellness play in your life?
Fitness, health and wellness definitely go hand in hand. I find that when I take time for myself wether it be spending time outdoors exploring, making time to read and journal, eating properly, spending time with family and friends, or focusing on what is possible rather than what seems impossible definitely gives me a better outlook and perspective on life.
