What inspired you to start your fitness journey?

When I first began my journey, I was going I through a big change in my life and felt like I needed to do something that prioritised myself over everything else. I was motivated to become the best version of myself and do something that nobody else could do for me.

How would you describe a typical day in your life?

Every day is different because I'm a super spontaneous person who lives life day to day. However, the one thing that remains constant is my training session at 10:00 AM, six times a week. This sets my days right and allows me to start each day on a positive note.

A fitness myth you would like to break for the readers?

Women and men don't have to train differently. Women are just as capable as men are; however, they don't produce the same testosterone that men do to make them overly muscular or “bulky.” Lift those weights, ladies!

How did you step into the world of mixed martial arts?

I've followed the sport for over a decade now. It's the fastest-growing sport today, WORLDWIDE. I've always been highly intrigued by the mental strength these men and women possess. It's honestly like no other. I always say that it takes an extraordinary individual to do what they do. I feel blessed to be surrounded by such inspiring and strong individuals on a daily basis.
