Hello friends :) Thank you for visiting this page! I have been passionate about surfing since I was 6 years old.. and early last year, that love and passion for riding waves was carried over to Brazillian Jiu-Jitsu. I started competing after a few months of being introduced to BJJ and it has been an amazing journey..
During our last team assembly at Jiu Jitsu Manila
After the very first BJJ class I attended, I was hooked. I feel extremely blessed to be part of my team ATOS Philippines because of our coaches who have really big hearts and are such amazing people in and out of the mats. My teammates and drill partners inspire me everyday to train harder and to reach my goals (with Jiu Jitsu and even the other things I am passionate about)
My first Gold at the Philippine Nationals
Jiu Jitsu in the Philippines is still a growing sport. Ever since the beginning of my journey with Jiu Jitsu, it has always been a goal to train and compete at an international level. When I was 4 months old (Jiu Jitsu age) I competed at the Philippine nationals, I got the results I wanted and won gold in my division. I went to Japan shortly after that for my first international competition. It was such a humbling experience competing in IBJJF's Asian Open 2015 where I won silver in my division. Although I did not win Gold, I was able to see the holes in my game and that just gave me a drive to train harder for the future competitions.

"Surfing, Acting, Jiu Jitsu. All this is a gift from God." I said this during an interview for Surfer's Life Magazine Japan. Everything I'm doing, it's all from Him and for Him. God has given me the heart to be bold and courageous in this life to be an inspiration to others. I always look for challenges in the things I love to do. As an actress, I take on roles that can help me become more versatile and fearless.. In surfing, I have always been searching for bigger waves.. And now in Jiu Jitsu, I am looking forward to competing in the biggest tournament in the world. Please help me get there as I represent my team and my country.
