When did you start boxing and why: I started when I was 11. My grandfather took me to the Front Street Gym in Philly, and I loved hitting the speed bag.

Winning the National Junior Open in Kansas City, and defeating the #1 ranked girl from Ireland. She was the Irish National Champion at 101 lbs.

What do you think is your greatest asset in the ring: My right hand.

If you weren’t boxing, what would you be doing? Playing soccer or field hockey.  

Who has been your biggest inspiration and why: Christina Cruz, because I love her boxing style and some people say we look alike in the ring.

What motivates you the most: Being on Team USA and the 2020 Olympics.  

What are five things that most people don’t know about you: 1. Can eat a pint of ice cream in one sitting. 2. Shadow boxes while sleeping (like sleep walking). 3. Never has to cut weight (so far). 4. Hates straightening my hair. 5. I am half Puerto Rican and half Irish.
