When did you begin to take MMA seriously as a hobby and then as a potential profession:
I started Muay Thai at 15 as a hobby, but within six months I knew I wanted to pursue fighting as a career. Due to injuries, I couldn’t compete straight away and gravitated toward Jiu-Jitsu. From 2019–2024, my focus was on BJJ, but MMA was always the long-term goal.

Favourite aspect of training or favourite session of the week, and why:
Sparring and Spyda fight simulation sessions — they’re the hardest, but also the most rewarding. I really value the mental progress I can feel week to week.

What are your greatest strengths as an athlete or a fighter:

  • Wrestling technique
  • Adaptability and openness to learning

How would you describe your fighting style:
Still developing, but I’m aiming to be an explosive, grindy wrestler with relentless pressure and control.

What is your favourite sport and why:
Fighting — it demands everything of you: physically, mentally, emotionally. It pushes you to evolve into your best self, and the bonds it builds with your team are unmatched. Plus, it’s just the most exciting sport to watch.

Who is your favourite athlete:
I need to expand my list — no specific name comes to mind outside of MMA yet.

Who is your favourite combat sports athlete:
Dan Hooker — I love his style, toughness, and attitude. He’s incredibly inspiring, both mentally and physically.

What are your immediate and long-term goals:

  • Immediate (2025): Get at least three, ideally four, amateur fights for more cage time and experience
  • Long-term: Compete at the highest level against the best female fighters in the world. I believe I have the dedication and attributes to become world-class — and the right team to help get me there.

When fans see your name on a fight poster, what should they expect:
Heart, passion, and intensity — no matter where the fight goes. You’ll see better execution every single time I step in the cage.

How do you see your upcoming fight playing out:
I’ll find my entries and set up takedowns. Once the fight hits the ground, expect complete domination.

A final message to any friends, family and supporters:
Thank you to everyone who supports me from near and far. It means the world when people see and believe in the vision with me.
