About Me

My biggest passion is boxing. I recently became a professional boxer, making a dream of mine a reality. I have had many residences and occupations, I guess I am a bit of a gypsy. I have lived all over the northeast (literally) and in the bay area of california. I currently work as a waitress, but have been a personal trainer, kickboxing and martial arts instructor, I have worked with children and for non profit environmental ograniztions. At the present time I reside in CT, but look forward to traveling to new and different places as often as I can. I want to accomplish as much as I can in the sport of boxing, it is my hope to one day have the opportunity to fight for a world title. Like many other fighters I have had challenges and battles both inside and outside of the ring. I truly believe that these challenges are what makes great champions. I am going to work hard to prove that I am a good boxer and that I am very serious about become one of the best female fighters in the world.

Fight at Mohegan Sun

I finally returned to the ring in a fight at Mohegan Sun Casino On August 29th. I had been out with an injury for a few months, and had needed to find a new trainer. Fighting at Mohegan was a big deal...
