There is no limit to what we can do

Speaker. Self-Defense Expert. Facilitator. Advocate. Adventurer.

My mission is to uplift women and empower people around the globe with personal safety, self-defense, violence prevention and boundaries education. I'm the CEO of Girls Fight Back and a dynamic international speaker who has traveled around the world to audiences of various demographics from diverse communities because I believe that giving people the tools and skills to address their fears can help them live their lives freely, without limits and confidently no matter where their life journeys take them.

​

Let me help your group reclaim their voice and power!

​

My high energy, engaging and interactive self-defense and personal safety programs are inclusive, trauma informed, evidence based, victim centered and grounded in empowerment self-defense strategies. I teach simple and practical techniques that are immediately useful for managing your boundaries and personal safety. I want to help people of all genders, races, ages, sexual orientations and ability levels open up their world and feel self-reliant. Instead of giving you a list of "don'ts", which is often misguided advice, I will teach you how to live your life limitlessly. Self-defense gives you a choice in how to respond to a situation and recognize danger so you can decide what works best for you.

My programs are available as Virtual or OnSite events. I can travel to you!

Whether you want to feel more confident handling verbal or physical encounters on the street, on campus, on a run or hike, in the office, on base, in your online meeting, with friends, at church, during a night out, at home, on the road or on the trails, I can show you options for dealing with situations in a safe and empowered way. You will walk away with immediately useful life-skills that are invaluable. You are worth fighting for!​

I deliver keynotes, speak on panels, facilitate discussions, lead workshops and more!
