I am looking back on the year 2022 with intense gratitude and awe.
It's been 2 short years since I bought Girls Fight Back in 2020, at the start of a pandemic and with what seemed like insurmountable challenges ahead of me. In 2 years I was able to bring my programming to the virtual space, create new programs to address the needs of more communities and I've reached even more people than I could have imagined with my message of empowerment.
Professional Recap
I worked to get several business certifications including WOSB (Women Owned Small Busienss), LSBSE, CA Small Business, LA County Vendor and Empowerment Self-Defense Professional (ESDP). I've expanded my work with colleges and have been invited to speak for and train the US Military, healthcare/home healthcare organizations, the NFL, women's running and wellness retreats, the outdoors industry, Fortune 500 companies, the entertainment industry, neighborhood watch groups, conferences, non profits and more.
This year alone I've completed over 50 speaking engagements!
I'm immeasurably grateful to Dr. Lindsay Orchowski and her research team at Brown University, who evaluated my programs curated from voluntary survey responses from my participants over the last 3 years. The results are amazing with 98.6% of participants reporting that they would recommend my program to a friend and 97.9% saying the program and skills they learned were useful.

I also worked with Dr. Orchowski to create boundary setting videos for 2 grant study programs serving women and bisexual women in college settings. I'm excited to share the videos and the research findings with you when the study in completed!
