Road to Paris2024- Olympic Qualifiers

Hi family, friends, and supporters.

I have the privilege of fighting for a spot at representing the USA Olympic team in next year's 2024 Olympics in Paris. The tournament will be the week of Dec 2, 2023- Dec 9, 2023 in Lafayette, LA. I am beyond blessed and thankful for this opportunity. I've been dedicating my time, blood sweat and tears to this sport for 8 years. I can not describe my heart's contentment seeing the fruits of my labor paying off.

It has been a difficult journey getting to this point with many setbacks.

In 2021 I became the first ever elite female to win a Golden Glove National tournament in Oklahoma fighting 4 tough fights consecutive days imprinting my name in the history books. The following year Feb 2022 I tore my Achilles Tendon during training. That was a very difficult time in life, physically due to not being able to compete for 9 months , but mentally challenging adapting to my new lifestyle and self doubt in my abilities and skill that surfaced. Fast forward to this year with the help of my coach's resilient encouragement I bounced back and won my second National Golden Glove title in May punching in my ticket for the Olympic Team Trials next month.

This competition is self funded as most amatuer boxing competions are. Donations received through this go fund me will not only go towards the hotel for the week, food, gas, and expenses during our trip, but will also go towards bills as my coach and I work full time jobs and will be taking off a week of work.

To be honest I am not a big fan of asking for money, but what encouraged me to do this was thinking back on my first National Golden Glove win in 2021, in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The amount of support, encouragement, and cheer I received through the entire tournament was unmatched. Whether it was family, friends, or people I had not officially met, the support of EVERYONE was essential in me making it through that hard week for the victory. So we humbly ask for the support of anyone who has believed in me throughout my journey, any amount helps!

It was through the sweet science I truly found myself and I hope my story inspires others to try boxing and experience how life changing the sport can be. To not give up easily on their goals and dreams despite adversity. Lastly, I hope through boxing to be an example for women, especially young women that may feel out of place to know there is strength and authenticity in not following the crowd and staying genuine to yourself. Hopefully Oklahoma has another female champion in the near future!
