The Olympic Dream Lives On

I did it! I won the women’s -61kg kumite category at the 2020 USA Team Trials held in Colorado Springs last weekend. My decisive wins over my competition have earned me the top US seed in my category. What does this mean? I’ll be representing USA at the Pan American Championships, World Championships, and most importantly, the Olympic Qualification Tournament in Paris this May.

My Olympic dream lives on. I am extremely grateful to my coaches, teammates, family and friends who continue to support me every step of the way.
