Passionate about Martial Arts, Journalism, and Criminal Justice, I am a versatile professional with a diverse skill set and a track record of leadership in various fields. My journey has taken me from the dojo to the newsroom, allowing me to hone my abilities in both Martial Arts instruction and MMA journalism.As a Senior Martial Arts Instructor at Cervizzi’s Martial Arts, I've not only taught students but also contributed to the dojo's operations and efficiency. From managing administrative tasks to streamlining the promotion system and transitioning to digital tournament management, I've played a pivotal role in enhancing the overall martial arts experience.My journalistic journey has been equally exciting. As a journalist with MMA Island, I've covered a wide range of MMA events, with a particular focus on the vibrant New England regional MMA scene. I've conducted interviews, written news articles, and provided live event coverage. Additionally, I've embarked on a new venture, Trial by Combat, where I'm more actively involved in creating content and reporting on the MMA scene.I recently graduated Summa Cum Laude with a Bachelor of Arts in Criminology/Criminal Justice and a minor in Forensics from Merrimack College. As a proud member of Alpha Phi Sigma, the Criminal Justice Honor Society, I had the honor of serving as Vice President. I am excited to be returning to Merrimack College to pursue my Master's degree.In addition to my professional achievements, I've been recognized for my leadership abilities, including founding and presiding over the North Andover Gaming Club and contributing to the Race Amity Club. I'm also honored to have received the Buke Award from Cervizzi's Martial Arts Academy, acknowledging my dedication and commitment to their mission.As I continue to develop my skills in martial arts, journalism, and criminal justice, I look forward to connecting with like-minded individuals and organizations on LinkedIn.
