TITLE
Assistant Coach to Tiny & Lil Ninjas Programs
Training Background
I’ve trained at the Mill since 2015, in both BJJ & Muay Thai, receiving my blue belt under Coach Jordan in 2018. I’m also in the process of earning my 200 hour Hatha Yoga Alliance Teacher Training Certification.
ON HER CLASSES
My approach to coaching the kids is to facilitate an environment that motivates them to work hard. BJJ demands disciplined effort if one is to make progress. Out of the discipline, children learn valuable lessons about such things as humility, self-control, and perseverance in the face of hardship. I like to push the pace while still making it fun for the kids.
