Biografia
I have been competing at a international level in Karate for the last 5 years. As a member of the Canadian National Team, my greatest achievement has been winning a bronze at the Pan-American Junior Championships, and beating many top fighters along the way.
I started Karate when I was 10 years old and along the way, I have won many medals and awards which allowed me to arrive to where I am today. My main goal now is to compete at World Junior Championships this October and hopefully fight my way to compete at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games!!
