I speak fluent Marathi & Gujarati, in case it’s ever needed.

It was always a childhood dream of mine to learn martial arts (thank you Mr. Miyagi & the OG Karate Kid movies). Back in those days though, it was not so easy to find a school, and seemed a lot more dangerous. So when my kids started learning taekwondo in 2019 and I realized that Tiger Rock has an adult program, I was finally able to achieve my childhood dream.

Today, I enjoy tournaments and competitions, learning self-defense, staying fit, and getting to work with the amazingly supportive friends I have found here. I chose to become an instructor because I love children, and I feel that every child can discover self-confidence, discipline, and humility through martial arts. I love everything about the Cobra Kai series and the philosophy of Bruce Lee, and they continue to inspire me on my martial arts journey today.

Professionally, I am an artist. I paint in watercolor, and I sell and exhibit my art all over Austin. I also enjoy vegetable gardening, reading autobiographies, playing various musical instruments, riding my bike, and making Neapolitan pizza.
 
My personal goals are to devote more time to developing my art, to learn to use Instagram properly, and to sustain a vegetable garden through the Texas summer heat.
 
My martial arts goals are to become a 3rd-degree Black Belt and improve my self-defense skills. Some of my recent professional achievements are my painting being selected to hang in Austin City Hall from 2022-2024, and the publication of my book titled “Reflections of Art, Life, and Italy” in 2021. And my biggest, most recent personal achievement is learning that I enjoy waterslides with a steep plummet and a big splash at the end.

Achieving my childhood dream of learning martial arts in 2019 has been an incredible journey. Competing in tournaments, teaching, and training alongside an amazing community keeps me motivated every day.
