As a proud head Coach of the USC collegiate team, I have competed at the collegiate level, representing the university with passion and determination. These experiences have not only shaped my skills but have also instilled in me a deep appreciation for teamwork and sportsmanship.

My journey has taken me to various prestigious competition venues such as NUCA, and UFC fight camps as both coach and competitor.
