What motivated you to train in martial arts? I train in Krav Maga because I don't want to feel helpless or scared in any situation. I go on walks and hikes by myself and I want to feel like I can keep myself safe. I want every woman to feel like they can hit something and stand up for themselves.

What should prospective students know about you? Ben and I opened the gym to create a place that improves people's lives. We opened Southside Combat Academy in 2021 and haven't looked back. I have lived in Flagstaff for over 10 years, am a professional wedding photographer, and have my MBA. I became obsessed with lifting and training once I noticed it gave me muscles, strength, and confidence. This is my hope for everyone who comes into the gym.

What can students expect from your classes? My strength students can expect an energetic, upbeat class. I will ask a lot from you, but we will have fun doing it. I break down every movement so you feel comfortable with every aspect of the workout whether it’s kickboxing or strength training.

What can we find you doing when you’re not at the gym? I love to watch reality tv with my cats, read a good book, and be outside in the sunshine with Ben!
