‍How did you get involved with AWBC?

I started boxing at a co-ed martial arts gym in Illinois. When I moved to Austin and looked into boxing gyms here, and saw there was a boxing gym specifically for women, I knew it was where I needed to be!

‍What’s your favorite part about being a member?

‍I love how welcoming the AWBC community is. Everyone at the gym is so kind and encouraging. I have always felt supported by everyone, instructors and members alike.

‍What’s your favorite punch or combo?

‍Classic 1-2-3! (Jab, cross, lead hook)

‍Do you have a favorite pro boxer or martial artist?

‍Amanda Serrano has become my favorite over the past couple years. I find her drive, focus, and resilience inspiring.

‍What do you do outside of boxing? Are you a student? Do you work?

‍I work for a video game company that makes VR games!

‍Any hobbies or passion projects?

‍Outside of work, I love to draw, paint, watch movies, and hang out with my dog Pumpkin :)

‍What's your "walkout song?"

‍PUNK TACTICS by Joey Valance & Brae

‍How has AWBC changed your life?

‍Boxing at AWBC has helped me make new friends, gain new confidence, and become a stronger person inside and out. I feel motivated to step outside of my comfort zone, and to set and achieve new goals for myself all the time. AWBC has helped me become a better version of myself!
