Summary

I have been training in the martial arts industry now for approximately six years (Muay Thai, K1, kickboxing and boxing). Prior to this I have always maintained my presence within the gym as I have a strong passion for health and fitness! I have been a member of Fight Fit, Moorabbin for close to one year now and have developed a very close connection to the gym and everyone in it, Fight Fit has become my second home. I also train at Collingwood Fight Fit alongside Lauren Foy and Nasar Kassab to work as a team, preparing one another for upcoming fights.

I believe training in martial arts- whether it be for fitness or to fight, is absolutely vital for our mind, body and soul! Training has personally helped me through my darkest days and is one of my biggest motivators in life- to fight under Fight Fit with Nick Kara.

To be able to make an income for myself and my two children, whilst also training/fighting under Nick would be a dream come true, to say the least!


I would describe myself as a very approachable and friendly individual whom has had 12 years experience working alongside many people and assisting clients on a daily basis.

I am currently employed with Vet Partners. I believe that the skills and experiences I have gained at this position and positions I have held in the past make me an ideal candidate for this job.

I am always eager to learn and am excited about starting in a new position.

I look forward to hearing from you.
