Comment: Please read the guidelines - this submission is utterly unsuitable in multiple ways. It's barely sourced, promotional, doesn't establish notability. Greenman (talk) 07:43, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
Comment: Not with one reference. ANUwrites 18:10, 13 March 2024 (UTC)
Comment: The tone has improved, but it still has a bit longer to go. And as per Theroadislong, there are no reliable sources provided. Sincerely, Guessitsavis (she/they) (Talk) 10:59, 13 March 2024 (UTC)
Comment: There are precisely zero reliable independent sources here, so nothing to support any notability. Theroadislong (talk) 10:09, 13 March 2024 (UTC)

Early Life

Without initial intentions of pursuing a professional career, her engagement in martial arts organically deepened through training in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Taekwondo, and Kickboxing. Known as the "Silent Lioness," her quiet determination and resilience through martial arts laid the groundwork for her later success in the mixed martial arts (MMA) arena.
