How it fuses mental strength and physical mastery. The way each movement tells a story of focus and persistence. The respect, discipline, and courage involved. She loves being a positive influence on peers, being a role model in teamwork, respect and perseverance. She is also a junior instructor.
She is inspired by her mother who has been her cornerstone. Her passion for taekwondo is fueled by her mothers example, especially when it comes to strength, resilience and belief in one’s self.
The quieter moments not only the wins and powerful performances. In particular when she showed resilience after a tough competition, bowing with grace, determined to try again. Each day of her journey has shown growth, becoming better than the person she was just moments before.
