I’m a Blackbelt in Karate

I have been taking weekly classes in Okinawan traditional karate for thirteen years now. Beyond being an enjoyable and rewarding sport, karate has also taught me to value discipline, focus, and the art of pushing myself to perfect my work even when the outside observer views it as impressive..

In 9th grade, working alongside sensei Claudio Baldo, I assisted in teaching kids' karate classes. This involved leadership, teaching, and taking care of young children. An additional benefit to teaching kids are all the funny stories one gets to bring home to discuss at family dinner.
