I began training under Sr. Master Olford in July 2014. I stayed after his passing because through him, I had found a love of martial arts and an outlet for my severe depression. As I advanced through the ranks, I was allowed to teach introductory classes. As a 3rd Degree Black Belt ( at age 16), I have been a full-time instructor for four years. I teach because I want to help young students, especially young ladies, overcome depression and anxiety through taekwondo. I want to show them they are more than what society, their friends, and even their families define them as. I will be leaving this fall to begin college in another town, and my goal is to open my own ATA Black Belt Academy.
