When and why did you start training for fighting? I started fighting as soon as I turned 18, after previously training in BJJ and falling in love with what started as a venture to learn self-defense.



What ranks and titles have you held? As an amateur, I was ranked #1 in the Midwest USA at 18 years old, and I was the next flyweight contender for Invicta FC before this bout.



Do you have any heroes? My Dad is and always will be my hero!



What does it mean for you to fight in the UFC? This is literally my dream. I've worked so hard for this and I plan on working even harder to climb this ladder.



Did you go to college and if so what degree did you earn? I am still in college (Old Dominion University), pursuing my PhD in Industrial/Organizational Psychology. I have a Bachelor's currently, double majoring in Psychology and Sociology (Drury University).



What was your job before you started fighting? I started training before I got a job and during my start in life I've worked as a waitress, a coach, a student teacher, and more. I am currently a coach at a local gym and teach undergraduate classes as a teaching assistant at my school.
