Goals

With over a decade of martial arts training, my goal is to open a karate school where I can teach and inspire others through the values of discipline, confidence, and self-growth. As a business student at the University of Central Florida on the Professional Selling track, I’m developing the knowledge and leadership skills needed to turn that vision into a reality. From branding and strategic planning to operations and relationship-building, everything I’m learning is preparing me to create a school that is impactful, sustainable, and rooted in purpose.

This is an image of me receiving my 3rd degree black belt. I look forward to testing for my 4th degree after I graduate from UCF!
