I'm from Ridgewood, queens and I graduated from Cleaveland High School. Boxing is my life and I have been boxing since 5 years old and competing since 10. During the next few months I will be competing in a few national tournaments including the 2016 Olympic Trials. However, as you may know we do not get paid as amateur athletes and if we convert to Pros we will no longer gualify to represent our state or country in any competitions. Many of these competitions are located in different states and we have to fund our own travel expenses and hotel accommodations . In order to compete at an elite level I have to train many long hours allowing me to only work part time in my boxing gym. I'm asking all friends, family members, and local supporters to please look within and help me reach these goals. I'm training night and day to be mentally and physically prepare for these upcoming months but the thought that I can't afford some of theses trips have added additional pressure. Please help me train with a clear mind and bring back all the championship to my local community and to my country one day.
 
The money will cover the flights, hotel accommodations, and registration fees for the tournaments. For the 1st qualification of the olympic trials to Colorado Springs and now the 2nd qualification in Memphis Tennessee.

My next journey are is a qualifying event to which the top two finishers of each weight class will move on to the 2016 Olympic Team Trials taking place late 2015 early 2016 in Reno, Nevada. I will continue to complete at local events and National events in addition to the qualifying events for the Olympics listed below:

Pathway to the Podium Olympic Trials Qualifier I – June 20-27, Colorado Springs

Pathway to the Podium Olympic Trials Qualifier III – October 24-31, Memphis, TN

(The top two finishers in the men’s division in the above events will qualify for the Olympic Team Trials For Men’s Boxing, taking place late 2015/early 2016 in Reno, Nevada).
