WE UNWRAP OUR KANDY BUTTERFLY WHO LOVES TO BOX

KANDY UNWRAPPED

Tell us about your family heritage. I’m American from Mexican descent. What do you love most about the town in which you grew up? I love that it’s a small town, with that small-town charm. A lot of friendly people, and everything is a little slower pace. It’s nice to be able to stop and smell the roses.

What word would your childhood best friend use to describe you?

She might say wild, but I think she means “passionate”.

We noticed you have a keen interest in boxing. Is this primarily an exercise regimen or do you box or plan to box in the ring? 

I’ve been a big fan or boxing since I was a kid and would always watch the pro fights. I just decided to try it out one day, and absolutely loved it. I’ve been training for a couple of years, and sparring. It definitely keeps me in shape as a workout, but my goal is to do some amateur fights. I like being the underdog and underestimated. I don’t look like your typical boxer, so people think I can’t fight. I like to prove them wrong.

November means Thanksgiving. What is your Thanksgiving part?

My contribution to Thanksgiving is usually the desserts. I help make the pies. I make a delicious rustic apple pie.

What are your 5-year goals?
