When did you start boxing?

I started boxing when I was 9 years old in 2016

How would you describe your style?

As a taller fighter, my style is all about using my range and fighting smart.

I can still turn up the aggression whenever I need to.

Best part of my career was when I won my first national championship because that gave me the confidence to keep going

What's one thing you want people to know about you?

I want people to know that aside from all my boxing accomplishments I am also apart of the vegan community, I have been vegan basically the same amount of time I have been boxing at 9 years old and being vegan helped me stay disciplined through my life and saved my dad’s life because he had diabetes and high blood pressure and him changing his diet saved him but I know once I get my name out there I will have so many people behind me because of my story

What have you accomplished so far?

I have won 3 National Titles, I have been the Silver Glove Finals 3 times and been to the semi finals in the Nationals 4 Time as well, all while staying ranked top 10 in USA boxing for 7 consecutive years. Even though I have 3 national titles I know I have always came so close to winning and I think I have always been overlooked in my career but I have always fought the best and did great

What boxer influenced you the most?

The boxer that influenced me the most was Sugar Ray Leonard with the way he uses his fast hands and feet to be able to dominate

What do you hope to accomplish when it's all said and done?

When it’s all said and done I will become a champion and I will be very influential to the sport of boxing and I want to be able to help my family out financially so they won’t ever have to worry about money
