I grew up in Las Vegas, Nevada.  My mom raised us with horses on the outskirts of Vegas, where we got into small rodeo's and competitions and my dad came in town every other weekend, where we stayed with him at hotels and went to all the shows.  Excalibur, Night at the Round Table was very popular for us when we were kids..haha  My parents are amazing people who worked well together after the divorce to ensure that us kids came first and were raised properly.

I have always been an athletic person.  It started off in dance classes then moved into gymnastics and from there into sports such as basketball, volleyball, and softball throughout my high school career. I love to snowboard in Lake Tahoe and wake board during the summer.   I got offers to play basketball and softball in college but my family was going through a crisis at the time and I wanted to stay close to home so that I could help.  So I went to the colleges in Nevada, University of Nevada, Reno my first year and University of Nevada Las Vegas for the next three years.

I am majoring in Psychology but for the last two years I have had to put school aside because of the amazing opportunities that have opened up for me in fighting. I have two wonderful, beautiful sisters, one older and one younger who were incredibly talented athletes also. My youngest sister is actually studying abroad in Spain at the moment.

I have always been a little tom boy growing up, beating all the boys in wrestling and always getting into trouble and it wasn't even until I was 20 that I realized people were starting to call me attractive.  It doesn't matter to me, I will always see myself as the little twelve year old with braces or the 16 year old with bruises all over her legs from sports or the now 24 year old fighter and loving every second of it.   I have had three wonderful opportunities to go to Thailand.  I fought and won twice and the third time I was  invited to go to the Bangkok film festival to promote an independent film called, "RING GIRLS" where four other girls and myself were filmed from Las Vegas all the way to Thailand.  All of us having two fights each and none which were staged, all the fights were real.  The last time I went to Thailand we also filmed a reality TV show called, "FIGHT GIRLS" which aired on the Oxygen channel.  It  was more of a competition between seven girls competing for the chance to go to Thailand to fight. I was a mentor under Master Toddy who helped him decide who would go. All of these experiences were amazing and some of the most enlightening experiences I have had.  We actually stopped in Tokyo, Japan on our way back from Thailand where we had a press conference of doing a possible fight promotion there with all of us girls but it never took fruition.  Hopefully it will someday because I absolutely loved it there for the short amount of time we spent and I would love to return.
