Elizabeth is a purple belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Her BJJ journey started in 2020 during her pursuit of living a healthier lifestyle. In turn, she found a sport with a loving community where folks practice discipline, uplift each other spirits, and challenge each other to be better than the previous day; on top of losing and maintaining 50lbs. Elizabeth enjoys putting her technique to the test through high level or local competitions with two handful of medals clinking in her arsenal.

Elizabeth has various experiences working with children for 7+ years. She enjoys the nature of child development because of the love shared for immediate family in her life. She helped her sister raise all her children on top of being the babysitter for the rest of her immediate family. She has worked in several daycares, teaching various other children’s martial arts programs, such as Taekwondo or BJJ.

Her passion for BJJ mirrors her passion for working with children as she believes this is the perfect introduction into martial arts, as well as a great stepping stone into developing healthy habits with body, situational awareness and even emotional regulation.
