I'm a lawyer.
I love BJJ (obviously) and cooking, reading, gardening, horseback riding, scuba diving, photojournalism, travel, and blogging.
I received my purple in July 2014 from Paulo "Coelho" Brandao, fifth degree blackbelt under Royler. I took a break from training in July 2016 when I was diagnosed with breast cancer. Had a mastectomy and underwent reconstructive surgeries. Returned to the mats in fall 2017 under Sean Cooper, also in Austin. Moved to Dallas in December 2017 and began training with Allen Mohler. Paused about 6 months later just too busy with work.
I received my blue belt in January 2009 from Relson Gracie and Phil Cardella.
