What is Youth Athlete of the Year?
Learn MoreWhat stands out most is how much Muay Thai means to her beyond fighting. She loves the challenge, the discipline, and the feeling of becoming better every time she trains. Watching her, you can tell she genuinely loves the grind—the bruises, the hard rounds, the setbacks, and coming back stronger. Muay Thai isn’t just something she does; it’s where she feels most like herself.
Her dad and the people at her gym are a huge part of what keeps her pushing forward. They motivate her when training gets tough and remind her to keep going. She looks up to the people around her, learns from them, and uses their hard work as fuel to become a better fighter and person. Their support makes her want to keep showing up, work harder, and never settle.
The proudest moment was winning at Rising Stars after a difficult 13-pound weight cut while balancing high school. Through it all, she showed incredible discipline and professionalism, staying focused, respectful, and composed. That win meant more because of everything she handled behind the scenes to earn it.
