As the story has it, one day I headed to the opposite side of the globe – the Flipside. I arrived in Korea February 16th, 2005 and thought I’d do a year, then leave. I was wrong. I stayed, launched my first company, Flipside Fitness, and then opened Korea's largest boxing club, Hulk's Boxing (now called Hulk's Club).

After 11.5yrs in Korea, I then picked up one day and returned to Toronto, Canada. But then I left again.

Now I live in the Philippines where I am the CEO and head coach of Empowered Clubhouse, the Philippines' first and only boxing clubhouse exclusively just for women. I also am the founder of the Lil' Sistas Project, CEO and designer of Slay Gear and Baa Baa Black Sheep .Ph.

Work All Day but Play all Night

I had sparring right at the crack of dawn today.
Okay, so it was only at 7am but in my world that's super early.
Got in 7 solid rounds of sparring but before the start of the seventh round Queen Spar said, "why don't we do a cool down for this last round -- only body shots."  Only body shots for a cool down?!  I said okay but then I spent the rest of today feeling that "cool down".
I trained in the morning but didn't train in the evening.  Instead I took the night off because I was treated to a belated Valentine's Day celebration -- a gift and dinner.
I'm no longer keto but I can definitely appreciate and find the humour in my gift 
being wrapped in wrapping paper that looked like bacon.
 Headed out to a great little Filipino restaurant called Lamesa, on Queen Street.
 Dinner at Lamesa is always a for sure delish feast and the ultra sweet staff that prepare it and serve it only amplify the awesomeness of it.  Definitely a must go-to place for anyone liking Filipino food!!!
