I started karate at age 7...This is my first time that I have competed in and made the Junior US Team in 12-13 Female Kata...My hero is my mom. She is the one that sacrifices so much for me, travels with me and supports me unconditionally. Mom juggles her work schedule to be there for me and helps me so I can be successful. She is my biggest cheerleader and I don't know what I would do without her....I get my inspiration from my Sensei. He spend lots of time teaching and guiding me to be the best that I can. He helps make me and all my teammates become great athletes...."In order to succeed, we must first believe that we can." - Nikos Kazantzakis
