The supportive community at the gym! Really great coaches and great members, too, along with the opportunity that is always there to learn and become a better boxer.

Outside of boxing, I work in the HR/People Operations field, specifically focusing on fostering inclusive workplace cultures.

Any hobbies or passion projects?

I'm passionate about radio and am building a digital station called COMO Radio, a collaborative project with old college radio friends. I also love ice cream. I make ice cream and try all kinds of flavor combos. Currently enjoying a summer flavor, sea salt ice cream!

Yazz also told us that they love the WNBA and their dog, Nova!
