Whatever you accept about yourself cannot be used against you. Be willing to own your truth, even if it makes others uncomfortable. The good and the ugly are all part of your story. You never know who you can inspire by being your authentic, unapologetic self.

I’m a full-time college student majoring in Psychology, driven by a general interest in the field and its application to sports, especially martial arts. I practiced Karate as a kid, experimented with other sports, but around the age of 13 or 14, I developed a deeper passion for mixed martial arts. Combining that passion with my love for travel, I’ve visited places like Las Vegas to work, create content, and build connections with professional fighters to learn more about the sport firsthand.
Outside of school and training, I enjoy writing; a skill I’ve always been both talented at and willing to work hard to improve. I currently work as a scriptwriter for the YouTube channel The Modern Martial Artist, where I break down professional fights for sport and self-defense use. I’ve always been drawn to content creation in all forms: filming, editing, and writing, and even earned my Media Creation Certification through the Swofford Career Center.
In my free time, I enjoy reading, going out to eat with friends, driving, watching sports with family, having deep conversations, and staying active through weightlifting and general exercise.
