Shield Maiden

In building the Shield Maiden Defense Collective, I’ve been fortunate to partner with organizations that share a passion for empowering our community—like the Catalyst Initiative Athletic Club. A not-for-profit club originally founded to host the local Cougars Volleyball Team, Catalyst has grown to support basketball, self-defense training, and beyond. It’s also where I lead strength and conditioning programs, working closely with our local jiu jitsu community to build resilience, confidence, and skill in athletes of all ages.
