Coach Carmen has always been an active person. She spent most of her time in high school and college participating in both track-and-field and cross country.

In 2017 Carmen began training in martial arts and found her way to SBG Buford in 2020. Coach Carmen has progressed quickly in both Muay Thai and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, largely in part to her frequent attendance and strong work ethic. In the spring of 2021, she took her first Kickboxing fight and won!!

Because of her amazing dedication towards martial arts & fitness and her incredibly energetic personality, the SBG Buford owners appointed her as a Fitness Kickboxing coach in 2021. In her off time, Coach Carmen likes to play golf and loves to surprise people with her super-secret driving skills out of the tee-box.
