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.

To Everything There is a Reason

It's a weird feeling I often get, sitting down for a meeting to talk about my upcoming business and bringing up Hulk's and Flipside.  I'm always proud to talk about Flipside, it gave me a sense of purpose and belonging, but to talk about Hulk's, it's bittersweetness.  Some days I can't believe I actually got up and walked away from it but then I remind myself why I did it.  I had reached my potential there and had reached my limit on things people will never fully understand.  

I miss Hulk's every single day but I know that I wouldn't be here and couldn't be here unless I had done what I did.  Hulk's was a practice run for what I'm about to launch and I know that's so incredibly true.  I'm proud of where I am but it definitely came with much sacrifice.
I'm currently addicted to this song and after a long day of meetings, I came home and put it on.
Music always puts me in a different, much-needed mood.
