Program Director

1st Degree Black Belt

I joined AEGIS in the summer of 2021 to build my confidence and spend more time with my family. I had no previous experience, so I was very nervous but also extremely excited. From the very first session, I knew this was something I wanted to commit to.

 

The welcoming and supportive environment at AEGIS made my journey so much easier. Helping and encouraging others has always been important to me, and through martial arts I discovered how powerful that support can be.

 

Watching other trainees progress inspired me to explore the instructor programme, and I set my goal of becoming an instructor at a very early stage in my training, and almost three years later I am proud to be a Programme Director. Training at AEGIS has taught me far more than physical skills — it has helped shape me into the best version of myself both inside and outside the academy.

 

As an instructor, I aim to create a positive, supportive, and motivating environment where every student feels confident, capable, and encouraged to challenge themselves. I understand how intimidating starting martial arts can be, and I’m passionate about helping students build confidence, discipline, and belief in themselves. I’m excited to continue growing, teaching, and supporting others on their own journeys.
